Fair Grounds Race 11 - Fasig-Tipton Rachel Alexandra S. Stakes
BELLA BALLERINA (3) resumes after a break of 11 weeks. Hoping for a repeat of her debut win over 1207m at Keeneland to kick off last prep. Best fresh figures put her right in this. LUV YOUR NEIGHBOR (6) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second in stakes class at this track (Dirt) over 1673m, beaten 0.3 lengths. Blinkers go on today; looks a top chance. JUST SINGING (1) is back from a spell of 11 weeks. Closed last prep with a third, beaten one length, over 1710m at Churchill Downs. Sure to measure up. DANCIN IN OLD TOWN (4) is a three-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 2 lengths when fifth over 1673m in Listed grade at this track (Dirt). Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come.

Form hard to fault. Last start 2nd in a small field at this track in LR on January 17 over 1673m, 0.3 len behind Taken By The Wind carrying 55.5kg at $10.70. The run before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 7 at this track in LR on December 20 over 1673m, nose behind Hit Parade with 55.5kg at $9.80. Big chance to score after a near miss last start.
