Fair Grounds Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Claiming
RUNNER RUNNER (3) had been racing consistently with two minor placings on end prior to finishing fourth most recently over 1308m at Delta Downs. Back to the track at which he finished second two runs back. Rates highly and can atone. JAYJAYJAY (2) was well fancied last start over 1106m at this track (Dirt) when fourth, beaten 2.25 lengths. Well-placed to make amends. OCEAN VOYAGER (5) finished third last start over 1106m at this track (Dirt), beaten 2 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. CUSTOM RIDE (6) finished 22 lengths from the winner in fifth at his most recent appearance over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after he got a long way back in the run. Finds a suitable assignment this time and can improve.

At the latest run 4th of 8 at this track on January 9 over 1106m, 2.25 len behind Roadside Banker with 56kg at $2.50. Before that 5th of 8 at this track on December 19 over 1207m, 12 len behind My Man Brandon with 55.5kg at $1.80. Doesn't need to improve that much.

Third-up today. First-up 4th of 7 at this track on December 11 over 1207m, 14 len behind Classical Knight carrying 55.5kg at $3.70. Second run from a spell second last in a small field at this track on January 2 over 1207m, 22 len behind Bandido Deal carrying 56kg at $11.20. Cannot be ruled out despite a lacklustre effort last time.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 4th in a small field at this track on January 2 over 1207m, 19 len behind Bandido Deal with 56kg at $10.70. The race before that held ground to the line 3rd of 7 at this track on December 11 over 1207m, 12 len behind Classical Knight carrying 55.5kg at $28.90. Can do a lot better than that last run.
