Fair Grounds Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming
HEY BERTIE (4) returned from a spell four weeks ago when she was beaten 5 lengths into sixth over 1106m at this track. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. LORD I WONDER (7) scored over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) at her most recent appearance on May 30. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. SHE'S A TEMPEST (9) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second when resuming last time out over 1106m at this track (Turf). Looks well placed so expect another big run. I'M MO JOKE (10) raced on the speed and dug deep to score by 2 lengths at this track and trip last start in a much improved run. No reason she cannot salute again.

Second run back. First-up after eight months 6th of 8 at this track on February 6 over 1106m, 5 len behind Lovely Emma carrying 54.5kg at $3.90. Previously second-up made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 9 at Aqueduct Turf in LR on May 10 over 1207m, 0.3 len behind Love Cervere carrying 53.5kg at $5.40. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.

Comes here off a 29-day let-up. At the latest run raced on the pace when 3rd of 8 at this track on February 6 over 1106m, 1.5 len behind Lovely Emma carrying 54.5kg at $24.70. The start before that 4th of 8 at Gulfstream Park Turf on January 10 over 1006m, 2.5 len behind Le Amazonia carrying 55kg at $25.90. Not far from the winner last time but this is a tough assignment.

Is first-up after a break of nine months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign post a big 11 len win. Churchill Downs May 30 over 1609m defeating Promisemeanempire carrying 56kg at $4.52. When resuming last campaign second last in a small field at Churchill Downs April 26 over 1207m, 4.5 len behind Twirl Around carrying 56kg at $5.48. Look for a bold run.
