Fair Grounds Race 9 - Race 9 - Allowance Optional Claiming
ENERGIZE (6) started at $4.10 last time but could only manage seventh, beaten 17 lengths, at Oaklawn Park over 1811m. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Expected to be in the finish. ORIZZONTE (4) is a genuine five-year-old gelding who resumed with a solid second last time out at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf) over 1609m. Won at his only second-up run so there is plenty of scope for improvement. ATTACHE (2) struggling to break through and over a year since a win, last start finishing second over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Hasn't won here but has gone close with two places from three runs and gets chance to break through. TARANTINO (1) turned in a better run last time at the second run back to finish third over 1710m at this track. Nicely placed to maintain the form.

At only start last preparation won by 1.75 len at Oaklawn Park February 3 2025 over 1811m defeating King Russell with 54.5kg at $1.80. Unlikely to threaten.
