Fair Grounds Race 6 - Race 6 - Allowance Optional Claiming
REMEMBER MAMBA (3) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 1811m at Keeneland (Turf) three months ago and has not raced since. Will come on following that run and looks tough to hold out again. CASA CIELO (5) finished 6 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1106m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Should be poised just off the lead. Will play a major role. BEEKMAN STREET (2) was too good for a maiden field last start over 1609m at this track (Turf), scoring by half a length. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Mitchell Murrill was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the ride. This is tougher but he cannot be underestimated. FRENCH KNIGHT (4) was easily accounted for when ninth last start over 1609m at Oaklawn Park, beaten 17 lengths after a good first-up win at this track. Should be thereabouts.

Second run from a spell got back early 5th of 9 at this track on January 3 over 1106m, 6 len behind Ketchum carrying 54kg at $12.70. Can't see him troubling these.

Returns from a 56-day let-up. Most recently came from midfield and won by 0.5 len at this track November 27 over 1609m defeating Cruisin Chuck with 54.5kg at $6.90. Before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 8 at Delaware Park on October 11 over 1509m, 0.7 len behind Mccready carrying 55.5kg at $2.40. Big chance again now that the penny has dropped.

Last start 6th of 9 at this track on January 3 over 1106m, 6 len behind Ketchum with 54kg at $5.10. The start before that eased back early on 5th of 7 at Delta Downs in LR on November 26 over 1509m, 8 len behind Oscar's Hope with 55.5kg at $10.50. Capable of more – worth another chance.
