Fair Grounds Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
BYWORD (1) settled well back last start and never threatened when 15 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1673m at this track (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. SILVER HALO (2) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Raced once last campaign and finished second over 1207m at Keeneland (Dirt). Sure to make his presence felt. SAND STREET (5) scored over this journey two back then failed at the longer trip last time when 11th at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Leading chance in this more suitable race. STEELY EYE (3) had support when resuming last time out but never threatened when a disappointing sixth, beaten 10 lengths, over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Capable of featuring.
