Fair Grounds Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Special Weight
AWESOMESAUCE (4) came home strongly last start to finish third, beaten 0.4 lengths, over 1609m at Fairgrounds. Should be winding up late again. SUNSHINE DAYDREAM (5) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was beaten 0.5 lengths when fourth in a 1609m contest at Fairgrounds four weeks ago after being prominent at the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. GALATINA (7) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 5 lengths away in fifth over 1609m at Fairgrounds. Nicely placed to take this out. BUCKEYE BOMBSHELL (1) was prominent at the corner and finished second last time over 1609m at Fairgrounds (Turf) when resuming from a spell, beaten 0.3 lengths. In the right race and is a winning hope.
