Fair Grounds Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming
EVANESCENCE (5) is back at the races for the first time since June 8. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1207m at this track. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. MODO (2) turned in a mediocre run last time out over 1207m in Listed grade at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) after a nice win the start prior. Has the ability to put the recent poor run behind her. TROUBLE IN LOVE (4) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at Churchill Downs. Couldn't follow that up last time out when third over 1408m at Gulfstream Park, beaten 9 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Florent Geroux is a key engagement. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. HAY EVABODY (6) did a great job to score by 1.5 lengths over this course and distance last time out to make it two-for-two this prep. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 39-day let-up. At the latest run 3rd in a small field at Gulfstream Park on December 28 over 1408m, 9 len behind Beyond Belief with 53.5kg at $3. The race before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.5 len at Churchill Downs November 12 over 1509m defeating Contrary with 53.5kg at $2.29. Hard to beat if she brings her A-game.
