Fair Grounds Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance Optional Claiming
CASA CIELO (8) is a talented colt who was well held last time in tougher grade over 1509m in Listed grade at Delta Downs (Dirt). Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Sure to be in the finish. RUDE PROCEDURE (7) resumes after a break of four months. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 1006m at Woodbine. Will be hard to stop. ARCHIMEDES (5) recorded his first win last start over 1106m at this track (Turf), getting home by a nose. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Re-unites with Isaac Castillo who was on board last start. Tougher assignment this time but is one of the main contenders. TEDDER (2) comes here following a win over 1207m at this track five-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by half a length. Should be involved in the finish.
