Fair Grounds Race 2 - Fasig-Tipton Crescent City Oaks Stakes
BRAKEN POPPA (2) is a progressive type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Has won three on end now, the latest scoring over 1609m in Listed grade at this track (Dirt). Races well here and will go close again. WHAT'S LOVE (6) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 1.3 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and she is one of the main chances. THRILL SEEKER (1) was well in commission last start over 1609m in stakes class at this track (Dirt) when second, beaten 9 lengths. Well placed in this easier race. Capable of taking this out. FADE TO GOLD (4) went forward over 1609m at Listed level at this track (Dirt) last time but found a couple better. Is going well this campaign, recording a win and six minor placings from eight starts. Deserves respect on her best figures.
