Fair Grounds Race 3 - Race 3 - Starter Optional Claiming

GUILE (3) is racing well. Scored at this track (Dirt) two back then finished second, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 1106m at this track (Dirt) at the latest appearance five-and-a-half weeks ago. Ben Curtis who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Likely to feature. DOUBLE EDGE SWORD (1) has scored at his last three starts, most recently by 4 lengths over 1006m at Delta Downs (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with three wins from three starts. Top chance again. AVERY'S GEM (6) has been freshened up since he finished sixth over 1207m at this track (Dirt) seven weeks ago. Better than last start and is a chance in this line up. WE MISS ARLINGTON (7) turned in a fine effort to win by 1.3 lengths at this course and distance last start in a far better run. Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating.

Recent form sound. Last start 2nd in a small field at this track on January 18 over 1710m, 0.8 len behind Time To Party carrying 54.5kg at $5.10. Before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 7 at this track on December 7 over 1710m, 6 len behind Eye Dee Kay with 54.5kg at $3.20. Capable of another forward showing. Respect.
