Fair Grounds Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Claiming
MCGINNIS (4) is yet to break through after six career starts. Could only manage to finish fourth last time out over 1710m at this track (Turf) following a minor placing at this track (Turf) when fresh from a spell the run prior. Well placed this line-up and might be his day. ROYAL IRISH (2) is still a maiden after 10 starts. Managed to fill a minor placing at this track (Turf) two starts back before finishing fifth over 1710m at Fairgrounds (Dirt) last time. Should be in the mix. MAX S (3) settled well back last start and never threatened when 34 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1673m at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ZUN REYDER (5) finished 12 lengths from the winner in fifth last time out over 1710m at this track (Turf) on January 4. Deserves another chance. Something for the Multiples: BEACH INVASION (6)
