Fair Grounds Race 7 - Race 7 - Maiden Special Weight
HITCHCOCK (7) drifted well back then came with a powerful run to finish 1.5 lengths from the winner in third when resuming last start over 1106m at this track (Turf). Watch for another barnstorming finish. CASTLE RUN (9) is back from a spell of nine months. Closed last prep with a fourth, beaten 2 lengths, over 1006m at Churchill Downs. Sure to prove tough to stop. RAZORCAT (10) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1106m at this track (Turf) after being in contention on the corner. Suitably placed to crack the maiden win. FLICK (11) comes here off a freshen-up of five weeks after finishing fourth at his latest appearance over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Can do much better.
