Fair Grounds Race 3 - Race 3 - Starter Optional Claiming
BOITANO (9) was handy on straightening and went on to finish second last start over 1509m at this track (Turf), beaten 0.3 lengths as favourite. In a suitable race and can find winning ways. FOXTROT HARRY (4) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, clocking in 4 lengths from the winner. Race sets up well for him. RED ROAD (7) scored at this track (Turf) last time out with 0.3 lengths in reserve at the end of 1509m. Has a decent record at this track with one win and three minor placings. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. One of the main contenders. NOT FALLING BACK (5) failed to live up to market expectations last start when out of the placings over 1609m at this track (Turf), beaten 9 lengths. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 11 at this track on February 21 over 1509m, 0.3 len behind Red Road carrying 56kg at $2.10. The run before that favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 3 len at this track January 22 over 1710m defeating Mister Muldoon with 57kg at $2.70. Strong effort last time and looks a leading hope.

Second-up. Comes off a 53-day let-up. First-up after three months made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 8 at this track on January 22 over 1710m, 3 len behind Boitano carrying 54.5kg at $3.60. Previously second-up won by 4 len at Canterbury Park Turf July 2 over 1509m defeating Wellswort with 55.5kg at $1.50. Worth consideration.
