Sam Houston Race Park selections for Friday, Feb. 21

Here are my selections for Friday night at Sam Houston Race Park. These are not meant to be in exact order, but merely the four horses I think have the best chance to win. For beginners, I suggest exacta boxes with three horses, using two of mine and one of your own. And you can always pick up a copy of Acing Racing 2016 to learn everything you need to know. (These are the picks and format that are available on the free tip sheet at SHRP).

FIRST

6-5-2-1
LAZUR HESS has finished behind a couple of these in the past but looks sharp


SECOND
8-2-3-6
GAME DAY DECISION gets back on dirt and distance should suit him

THIRD
11-12-5-7
MORE THAN STATURE hooked a monster in last; prior race fits well here

FOURTH
1-5-4-6
ROCKNROLL ROCKET was an easy winner in last and could repeat

FIFTH
8-9-7-1
JADE D'ORO just missed in Delta debut and should be in the mix

SIXTH
6-3-4-8
SNEEM has yet to lose at this trip; new barn should keep him sharp


SEVENTH
3-10-4-7
BIG EGYPT is a shrewd claim who has already paid off; could win right back at this level


EIGHTH
5-4-7-6
LEBRON J has every reason to improve in start No. 3


NINTH
6-8-5-2
THREE TIME CHARMER had gate issues in last; better behavior could equal a win


TENTH
3-1-5-10

UNCAIL will be on the lead early and tough to run down
