Fair Grounds Race 13 - Race 13 - Maiden Special Weight
HEAVENLY MELODY (9) ran well on debut last start to finish second over 1609m at this track (Turf) in a tougher race. Promising type with improvement to come so she is worth following up. DETERMINED DANCER (1) is a three-year-old filly by Twirling Candy out of Egyptian Storm stepping out on debut for the Cherie Devaux stable. Likely to get all the favours from this favourable draw. Bold showing expected. Watch betting. GOOD FAMILY (5) faced the starter for the first time and finished fourth last start at this track (Turf) over 1609m, beaten 4 lengths. Can improve sharply. RASPBERRY (12) returns after four months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a ninth over 1710m in the G2 Golden Rod Stakes at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Can kick off with a bold showing.
