Fair Grounds Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance Optional Claiming
PARIS LILY (2) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Was narrowly beaten at her only appearance when last in work at Keeneland (Dirt) over 1811m. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Best form puts her right in this. AMALFI DRIVE (4) finished seventh when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1710m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. AMARTH (3) resumes. Wasn't far away at the only run last time in work, finishing fourth over 1408m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) three-and-a-half months ago. One to consider. CONCH FRIED RICE (1) returned from a spell six weeks ago when she was beaten 5.5 lengths into fourth over 1710m at this track. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
