Fair Grounds Race 6 - Race 6 - Allowance Optional Claiming
MAXIMUM BOURBON (5) reunites with Ben Curtis after scoring with ease over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Best form puts him right in this. ATTACHE (7) last appeared a month ago over 1207m at this track when he finished second. This is his first run for the M J Maker stable. Sure to be primed for this and a bold showing is anticipated. TOUGH CATCH (9) is back from a spell of 12 weeks. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1207m in stakes class at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Makes plenty of appeal. FULLY VOLATILE (8) did a great job to score by half a length over this course and distance when first-up from a layoff last start. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose.
