Wild Paint finished second in a similar contest here a month ago but failed to confirm that running with Talk Big Money next time when also behind Captain Amante, who again did best when both were unplaced behind Wise Ron last week. Captain John has been running in better races at Sam Houston and is probably the one to beat if another switch of venue doesn’t compromise his form but we might take a chance on BIG TIME PLAYER, who hasn’t been disgraced in his last couple of runs here for Marvin Johnson.
