Fair Grounds Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Claiming
DEAL ME TRIPS (4) improved last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1106m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Looks well placed so expect another big run. SULTAN'S PRIDE (1) faced the starter for the first time and finished sixth last start at this track (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten 7 lengths. Likely improver and worth following up. BIG MO (6) finished third over 1207m at this track two back then missed the frame last time out over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Has ability and expected to feature. MAKE ME A DEAL (3) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 10 lengths when sixth in a 1106m contest at this track three weeks ago. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways.

At the latest run sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 9 at this track on January 18 over 1106m, 3 len behind Respectheconnect with 54.5kg at $4. The run before that couldn't go on with it; 5th of 10 at this track on December 27 over 1207m, 13 len behind Pardoned carrying 54.5kg at $2. Ready to win after a solid performance last time out.
