Fair Grounds Race 7 - Race 7 - Maiden Optional Claiming
HALO MUSIC (6) made progress last start to finish second over 1207m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. KAZOOM (3) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when third over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Leading contender. A CAB ON THE ROCKS (5) is a three-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at his latest appearance over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Among the chances in what looks a nice race for him. PROPS (8) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1207m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish.
