Fair Grounds Race 4 - Race 4 - Starter Optional Claiming
GUILE (6) was thereabouts last time out when second at this track (Dirt) over 1673m, beaten 0.8 lengths. Ben Curtis who has scored on him four times retains the mount. Bold showing expected. TIME TO PARTY (4) made it three wins on the bounce last start when he scored by 0.8 lengths over 1673m at this track (Dirt). Likely to be in the finish again. HEY BOSS (8) started at $2.70 last time on the back of a win at this track (Dirt) two starts ago but was below his best, finishing fifth over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with strong prospects. EL PERFECTO (2) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1710m at Delta Downs (Dirt), scoring by a nose. Open to plenty of improvement and is among the better chances.
