Fair Grounds Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Claiming
BAYOU TIME (3) finished third last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt), making it two career minor placings. Goes well here with two top-three finishes to his credit. Nicely placed and expected to go very well. RESCUE SQUAD (6) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when fourth, beaten 19 lengths, over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Has the talent to produce a better result. EASY LIKE BREEZY (2) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1006m at Delta Downs (Dirt) when third, beaten 4 lengths. Promising type with improvement to come so he is a strong chance. HEAR THUNDER (7) finished 18 lengths away in sixth at his last appearance over 1609m at this track (Dirt) on January 23 after he gave away a big start. Solid top-three chance on his best figures.

Five-year-old gelding by Ocean Knight out of Classical Dice who has taken a long time to make it to the track. Maybe later.
