Fair Grounds Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Claiming
SUCH A PICKLE (6) is yet to break through in four runs. Finished seventh at his last appearance over 1207m at this track (Dirt) on January 23. This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. TEMPLE OF PEACE (3) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1509m at this track, beaten 11 lengths into ninth. Finds a more suitable contest and can find winning form. LOUISIANA BARGAIN (2) returns after three-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a seventh over 1609m at Delta Downs (Dirt). Commenced last prep with a minor placing at Louisiana Downs over 1408m. Rates highly on best figures and should be right in this. ZONG'S FAVOR (5) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 25 lengths into eighth. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
