Fair Grounds Race 10 - Muniz Memorial Classic S. Presented By Horse Racing Nation Stakes
LAGYNOS (4) returned to winning form second up last start, scoring by 2.25 lengths over 1811m in the G3 Fair Grounds Stakes at this track (Turf). Has never missed the frame when third-up from a break so he looks the testing material. PROGRAM TRADING (7) was strongly fancied when resuming last start but wound-up in fifth, beaten 1.4 lengths, over 1811m in the G1 Pegasus World Cup Turf at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf). Overall record is sound when second-up and should be better for that first-up run. Leading chance. TOM'S MAGIC (5) clocked-in second behind Quatrocento when fresh from a break last time out in the G3 Tampa Bay Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs Turf (Turf) over 1710m. Has a terrific record here with two wins and one placing from three starts. One of the contenders. MONTADOR (2) ran second at his latest appearance over 1811m at this track, clocking in 2.25 lengths from the winner as favourite. Strong top-three chance.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 35-day let-up. Most recently 2nd of 10 at this track in the G3 Fair Grounds Stakes on February 14 over 1811m, 2.25 len behind Lagynos carrying 55.5kg at $3.20. The run before that favourite; scored a big 4 len win at this track LR December 27 over 1710m defeating Juris Doctor carrying 53.5kg at $2.10. Likely to play a big role.

Second run back. Comes off a 49-day let-up. First-up after two months 2nd of 7 at Tampa Bay Downs Turf in the G3 Tampa Bay Stakes on January 31 over 1710m, 4 len behind Quatrocento carrying 53.5kg at $4.60. Previously second-up 2nd of 13 at Woodbine All Weather in LR on August 16 over 2012m, 2.5 len behind Mansetti carrying 57kg at $6.80. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.

Returns from a 37-day let-up. Last start won by a nose at this track February 12 over 1710m defeating Drilling For Gold with 54.5kg at $8.30. The start before that came home strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 7 at this track in LR on December 27 over 1710m, 6 len behind Montador carrying 52.5kg at $27.80. Won't be beating too many of these home.
