Fair Grounds Race 9 - Race 9 - Starter Optional Claiming
BERLAINE (3) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when second over 1609m at this track (Dirt) when she was always up in the leading division. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. HITTIN MY STRIDE (1) was a placegetter on dirt over 1207m at this track two back but missed the frame on turf over 1106m at this track last time. Better placed here and expecting she will make amends. SLAM DIEGO (5) had been in great form winning two on end before missing the frame last time when fifth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has a high cruising speed. Will be in this for a long way. MAMBA OUT (7) bounced back last start and scored by a nose over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Well placed to feature in the finish again.

Form hard to fault. Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 7 at this track on January 25 over 1207m, 6 len behind De' Ans Eighty with 54kg at $12.40. The run before that won by a 0.3 len at this track January 1 over 1207m defeating Zoom Erin with 56kg at $1.90. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming came from midfield and won by 0.8 len at this track December 14 over 1207m defeating Berlaine with 54.5kg at $5.20. Second-up eased back early on 5th of 7 at this track on January 10 over 1207m, 7 len behind Mamba Out with 55.5kg at $3.70. Definite winning chance.

Comes here off a 55-day let-up. At the latest run 6th of 8 at this track on December 14 over 1207m, 11 len behind Slam Diego carrying 55.5kg at $7.20. The run before that won by 2.25 len at Horseshoe Indianapolis November 10 over 1106m defeating Honey Red carrying 55.5kg at $1.80. Might just find this a bit too tough.
