Fair Grounds Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
DJANGO (4) turned in an eye-catching run over 1673m at this track (Dirt) last time, ridden back before coming home with a powerful run to finish third. Will be a major player again. YOU BELONG HERE (6) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when fifth, beaten 23 lengths, over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Has the ability to put the recent poor run behind him. PURPLE HEART (5) got the job done last start by a nose at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Form here strong boasting two wins from three starts. Should be involved in the finish. TRULY LEGIT (1) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on December 6, finishing ninth and beaten 10 lengths over 1308m at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Definite top-three chance. Something for the Multiples: C MAC DA BOSS (2)
