EXECUTIVE POWER (1) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at Sam Houston Park (Turf) over 5f after being in the firing line all the way. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. HOLD YOUR APPLAUSE (3) turned in a modest performance when second last time out over 1m at Sam Houston Park, beaten 4 lengths after being in contention on the turn. That followed a win at Sam Houston Park at the previous outing. Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough. SILENCE D'ORO (8) is struggling to break through but has been around the mark lately, last start finishing fourth over 1m1f in Listed grade at Sam Houston Park (Turf). Has a win and one minor placings at this trip from four starts. Genuine contender. IMUA KAI (5) lines up on the back of a 1.1 lengths fourth over 1m1/2f at Sam Houston Park. Expected to feature.
