HOUDINI SPECIAL (10) was last at the races when he finished fifth over 1½f at Lone Star Park (Dirt) on November 6. Expect him to play a major role. PYC ROYAL TIME (4) last appeared on February 3 when a good fifth over 1f31yards at Louisiana Downs (Dirt), beaten 1. 4 lengths, which was his only run of the campaign. Looks a winning chance while fresh. A DASHING PERRY (8) is a nine-start maiden who resumed from a lay-off last start and was beaten 2 lengths when fifth over 1½f at Louisiana Downs (Dirt). Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration. RUN NELLIE RUN (6) was last at the races when she saluted over 1f31yards at Lone Star Park (Dirt) on November 7. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
