Fair Grounds Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Claiming
DEAL ME TRIPS (1) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when one length away in second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when he was in the firing line all the way. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. JAYJAYJAY (2) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1207m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. OCEAN VOYAGER (3) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Draws nicely and expected to go well again. SEVERUS SQUALL (9) fought on for third last start over 1006m at Delta Downs (Dirt), beaten 2.25 lengths to add to some fine recent form. Finds a suitable race and can build on solid recent efforts.
