Fair Grounds Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Special Weight
TROUBLE CALLING (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.3 lengths from the winner in second over 1207m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. TROMBONE (2) is a nicely bred three-year-old colt lining up for the first time. By Maclean's Music from Apologize who has produced some fine gallopers, including winners at black type level. Has the aid of a nice alley and should be in the finish. DEEP FLAME (7) is facing the starter for the first time. By Into Mischief and comes from the B H Cox stable. Any push in betting should be respected. MOJACAR (8) finished third on debut four weeks ago over 1207m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Deserves serious consideration.
