Fair Grounds Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Special Weight
E LION (5) 3yo first starter by Clearly Now for Shane Wilson. Added confidence jockey with Jose Guerrero doing the steering. Watch the market. ADVANCED SPIRIT (2) 4yo by Not This Time having initial appearance for Michael Stidham and can find a nice position from the draw. Follow the money. RESTORE (6) Rattled home nicely into 2nd last time around here. Will be around the mark at odds. LA PERFECT BEE (13) Back after spell of 35 weeks. Produced an eye catching run when 2nd last start at Hawthorne and solid career start. Worth consideration.
