SHAMAYIM (6) was in the money two starts back at Sam Houston Park but was unable to repeat the effort last time when sixth, beaten 10 lengths, at Lone Star Park (Dirt) over 1m. Has the talent to take care of this field. TAKE CHARGE GENT (10) has had two runs since a break, the latest a fifth over 1m1f at Sam Houston Park (Turf), beaten 1.4 lengths. Has a solid record at the third run in so a top-three finish is on the cards. RUSSIAN TANK (3) has switched yards since finishing seventh six-and-a-half weeks ago over 7f at Sam Houston Park. Can measure up for the new barn. FREEDOM FACTOR (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m at Fairgrounds, beaten 4.5 lengths into seventh. Worth noting Joel Dominguez goes aboard. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
