Timeform's US team advise three bets at Sam Houston on Tuesday...
Sam Houston race 6, 21:16 GMT - Bustin to Belong
The consistent Bustin to Belong has been second on his last two starts and can now go one better in this $7.5k claiming contest. A natural front runner, Bustin to Belong meets a field that doesn't have a great deal of speed and he should be able to control the race from the front. Classy Talent was a front-running winner last time, but he may not have the latent speed of Bustin to Belong, who should be too quick for him.
Sam Houston race 7, 21:42 GMT - Corporate Charlie
The following race at Sam Houston, a five-and-a-half furlong starter allowance event, can fall the way of Corporate Charlie who has been running creditably in similar events at Oaklawn and Remington Park. Today's race is a good deal easier than that which Corporate Charlie finished fifth in at Oaklawn last time out, and he looks a decent bet at anything around 4.5.
Sam Houston race 9, 22:34 GMT - Killing It
Killing It has been contesting some strong contests at the likes of Oaklawn and Fair Grounds just recently, including the Grade 3 LeComte Stakes at the latter venue, and will appreciate the less-stiff competition in this much weaker allowance race. A wide draw could be a bit of a hindrance, but Killing It has enough early speed to take up a good position, and he looks to have been put in at a rather generous 7/2 on the Morning Line. A price of around 3.8 would be well worth taking.
