Fair Grounds Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming

ENLIGHTEN (10) changes rider since being well held last time in fifth over 1609m at this track (Turf) on December 27. Last run worth forgiving. Can atone. CONTEMPLATION (2) was an emphatic winner last time over 1609m at this track (Turf) with today's rider Jim Graham engaged. Has a high cruising speed. Sure to be in the finish. INTERLOCK EMPIRE (13) went forward over 1673m at this track (Dirt) last time and held on for third. Has the gate speed to negate a tricky draw. Blinkers added so worth plenty of thought. POLAR BEAR PLUNGE (9) did a great job to score by 0.8 lengths over this course and distance last start in a far better run. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of another big performance.

Racing well recently. Comes off a 48 day let-up. At the latest run ran on from midfield and won by 2 len at this track December 12 over 1609m defeating Deccan Prince with 55kg at $7.50. The race before that made ground from midfield; 2nd of 8 at this track on November 21 over 1609m, 0.5 len behind Deccan Prince carrying 55kg at $5.60. Nicely drawn and should prove hard to beat.

Returns from a 34-day let-up. Last start settled back and ran on when 7th of 10 at Oaklawn Park on December 26 over 1609m, 19 len behind Creative Minister carrying 54.5kg at $31.90. The run before that settled back and ran on when 9th of 12 at Churchill Downs on November 30 over 1811m, 16 len behind Presider carrying 55kg at $76.53. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.

Second-up. First-up after three months ran last of 9 at Turfway Park on January 9 over 1609m, 27 len behind What Say Thee carrying 54.5kg at $10.82. Previously second-up won by a 0.3 len at Horseshoe Indianapolis July 4 over 1710m defeating Passing Judgment carrying 55.5kg at $3.20. Should progress from that first-up run.
