Fair Grounds Race 7 - Race 7 - Maiden Optional Claiming
LA NORME DE JOUR (4) returned from a spell two months ago when he was beaten 28 lengths into 12th over 1710m at this track. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. EDITOR (6) made his debut last start and was just fair in finishing fourth at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf) over 1106m, beaten 7 lengths. Plenty of scope for improvement and worth following up. GENERAL GRAHAM (7) is a first-starter by Omaha Beach from Flying Spur who has been a most successful broodmare. Ready to run well despite a difficult gate. KINGOFSOMEWHEREHOT (8) has not raced since his debut back on September 4 when he finished tenth over 1609m at Kentucky (Turf). Worth following up.
