Fair Grounds Race 9 - Race 9 - Maiden Claiming
LA MAXIMA (2) has been in the betting at both starts but has failed to break through. Most recently finished fifth over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 12 lengths. Has ability and deserves another chance. BISTINEAU BEAUTY (5) sat on the pace last start until tiring to finish fifth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1106m at this circuit. Sure to prove tough to rein in. SWEET AURORA G (8) missed the frame two back in tougher company then last time in easier did much better when third over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Well placed here in this grade and among the leading players on best figures. HANNAH BOO (6) drifted back early on debut last start then worked home strongly to finish 3 lengths away in second at this track (Dirt) over 1106m. Likely improver worth including. Something for the Multiples: METALLIC MAID (1) BETSY LOUISE (7)

Recent form sound. Most recently 3rd in a small field at this track on January 15 over 1106m, 4 len behind Sautee Nacoochee carrying 54.5kg at $6.70. Before that raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 8 at this track on December 26 over 1207m, 4 len behind Jaja Ja Mar with 54.5kg at $24.20. The inside gate brings her right into contention.
