Fair Grounds Race 3 - Race 3 - Maiden Claiming
FINAL HALF (8) Lost ground in the run home when 6th last time at this track. Overlooking the last run and solid career start. Exhibiting good form since resuming from a spell. Can win this. Z STAR (10) 3yo first starter sired by Star Guitar for Sam B David Jr. Watch the betting. BLONDATE (4) Came in 4th last start at the track. May see an upturn in form. Expecting to settle positively. Jose Guerrero is highly regarded. Must respect in this event. SCOOTIN' BOOTS (3) Zipped home into 3rd beaten by almost 9L last run around here. Must respect.

Tidy effort on debut when beaten 3.35L at Fair Grounds when a $21.3 chance. Beaten 3.35L last start when a $21.3 in the market. 3.35L from the winner in Maiden class race at this track last start. 3.35L from the winner over this distance last time out. Could be value for wider exotics.
