Fair Grounds Race 6 - Race 6 - Claiming
MAKI MONARCHY (4) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track (Turf), finishing third and only 2.5 lengths from the winner at the end of 1710m after being in the firing line on the corner. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. SPECIAL AWAKENING (1) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1673m at Fairgrounds (Dirt), scoring by 0.3 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and he is one of the main chances. E LION (3) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 3 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1710m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. MAJOR DAX (9) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1710m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) after being handy for much of the way. Suitably placed so anticipating a bold performance. Something for the Multiples: D DAY SKY (8)

Second-up. Comes off a 55-day let-up. First-up after eight months won by a 0.3 len at Fairgrounds January 24 over 1673m defeating Mula with 56.5kg at $3.60. Previously second-up 2nd of 9 at Keeneland on April 23 over 1811m, 0.1 len behind Strategic Force carrying 53.5kg at $13.04. Fitter again and a winning hope.

Second-up. Comes off a 48-day let-up. First-up after nine months 3rd of 7 at Fairgrounds on January 31 over 1673m, 4 len behind Shepherd with 55.5kg at $6.90. Previously second-up ran last of 7 at Saratoga on August 17 2024 over 1811m, 11 len behind Game Warden with 54.5kg at $28.25. Should progress from that first-up run.
