Fair Grounds Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance Optional Claiming

MACHO BEANIE (3) was never in contention when 7 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1673m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at this track the run before. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. POPPA MAGIC (2) showed good pace over 1509m at Delta Downs (Dirt) last time and went on to score by 1.75 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. SAME PLAY (6) was an effortless winner last time over 1609m at Delta Downs (Dirt), scoring by 3.5 lengths. Should be prominent from the outset. Capable of testing this field. ICE'M UP BOYS (4) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fourth over 1408m at Delta Downs (Dirt). Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot return to winning ways.
