Fair Grounds Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming

HESPER (1) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 13 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 1106m at this track, beaten 13 lengths. Marcelino Pedroza gets the best out of this four-year-old entire. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. SARAH'S RUNNER (5) finds it hard to win with just one success from 12 starts. Did a good job last start to finish third over 1509m at Delta Downs, beaten 5 lengths. Ideally placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. CLASSICAL KNIGHT (3) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 12 lengths away in fifth over 1106m at this track. Finds an easier assignment and can find winning form. ROMEO SPIKES (2) scored a 1.5 lengths win on dirt at this track two starts back but then disappointed on turf last time at Fairgrounds Turf over 1609m when 22 lengths from the winner in sixth. Devin H Magnon sticks. Best figures stack up. Something for the Multiples: MERONEY (7)

Second-up. First-up after seven months 5th of 9 at Delta Downs on February 21 over 1408m, 8 len behind The Monopoly Man with 53kg at $14. Previously second-up ran last in a small field at Delta Downs on February 19 2025 over 1006m, in the wet; 16 len behind Girlie's Max carrying 55kg at $5.80. Should progress from that first-up run.
