Fair Grounds Race 6 - Race 6 - Allowance Optional Claiming
STEPPING STONES (1) impressed when successful on debut over 1106m at this track (Turf) two-and-a-half weeks ago. Likely improver who should run well again. SOLEMN VOW (9) is having her first look at a turf track and resumes off a spell of ten weeks. Kicked off last preparation with a seventh at Saratoga (Dirt) over 1207m. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Expecting a bold showing. VELCAMP (8) was doing her best work late last start to get up for third over 1106m at this track (Turf). One of the main contenders. HIDDEN MAP (2) recorded her first win last start over 1106m at this track (Turf), getting home by half a length. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. C J McMahon was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. This is tougher but she cannot be underestimated. Something for the Multiples: DALE'S BLUFF (7) I B FLYIN (5)

Last start 6th of 8 at Turfway Park on January 8 over 1308m, 12 len behind Coco Connect carrying 55.5kg at $5.58. The race before that second last of 9 at Churchill Downs in LR on November 29 over 1308m, 25 len behind On Time Girl carrying 55.5kg at $16.08. Might just find this lot a bit smart.

Second-up. First-up after two months 6th of 9 at this track on January 3 over 1106m, 6 len behind The Town Tempter carrying 54kg at $3.30. Previously second-up 3rd in a small field at Laurel on September 5 over 1609m, 7 len behind Ultimate Love carrying 51kg at $17.90. Unlikely to threaten.
