UPTOWN JIVE (9) has been in great form with two placings in succession, most recently when beaten 0.8 lengths into second over 6f at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) when she was handy all the way. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within her grasp. KLASSY ROSE CHROME (7) pushed forward from a wide draw last time out and found the front, holding the lead for most of the way and sticking on well to finish third over 6f at Sam Houston Park (Dirt). Will take catching. SPIRIT OF VETERANS (4) is yet to break through after six starts. Placed in a then last time out was fifth, beaten 6 lengths, over 6f at Sam Houston Park (Dirt). Has the pace to be thereabouts early. Well placed here and among the winning hopes. CHIP ALTERNATIVE (5) worked home well and finished second last time over 1m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt), beaten 0.3 lengths. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is capable of testing her rivals.
