Fair Grounds Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Special Weight
PREPPED (5) should be peaking now after finishing second over 1710m at this track (Turf) last time at the third run of the campaign. Bold showing expected with the blinkers added. FAST CONNECTION (6) just missed last time when 0.3 lengths away in second at this track (Turf) over 1710m. Among the main chances. ROYAL CAUSEWAY (9) is yet to break through in six runs but has been thereabouts. Placed two back then was 0.8 lengths away in fourth over 1710m at this track (Turf) last time. Backmarker who gets home hard. Solid top-three chance. ROAD TRIPPIN (1) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1710m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.

Recent form sound. Most recently gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 7 at this track on March 6 over 1710m, 0.3 len behind Mischief Ride carrying 55.5kg at $5.20. The race before that 4th of 7 at this track on February 12 over 1609m, 2.75 len behind Ramblin carrying 55.5kg at $3.60. Solid run last time and is a strong winning hope again.
