Fair Grounds Race 6 - Race 6 - Allowance Optional Claiming
BENOIT (4) has had two runs since a break, the latest a sixth over 1207m in Listed grade at this track (Dirt), beaten 3 lengths. Generally runs well third up from a spell so he is sure to feature in the finish. HE'S LATE AGAIN (2) finished out of the money two starts back then he got a long way back and was beaten 5 lengths when fifth over 1408m at Delta Downs three weeks ago. Going up a level this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. MACHO BEANIE (5) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when fourth over 1673m at this track (Dirt) after he was prominent at the bend. Should be peaking now and is a key runner. COSMIC TRAIN (1) finished third last start over 1673m at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.3 lengths. Nicely placed to take this out.
