Fair Grounds Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
CONTRIBUTION (5) progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 1710m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. DRILLING FOR GOLD (4) was thereabouts last time out when second at this track (Turf) over 1710m, beaten a nose. Should be at his peak now. Ready to win. CRISIS MANAGER (11) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when seventh, beaten 8 lengths, over 1609m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Finds a suitable assignment and can take this out. MAIN BEACH (6) is racing well on the dirt of late, hitting the frame two back at Fairgrounds then improving to score at Fairgrounds over 1609m five-and-a-half weeks ago. Going well and worth including this line-up.

No threat last time out but this suits.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up 4th of 12 at this track on December 27 over 1609m, 2.75 len behind Lebowski with 54kg at $18. Second run from a spell held ground to the line 2nd of 10 at this track on February 12 over 1710m, nose behind Faber with 54.5kg at $8.80. Can improve. Top chance if at his best.
