Fairmount Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Starter Optional Claiming
ETERNALLY GRATEFUL (3) was well in commission last start over 1710m at this track (Dirt) when fourth, beaten 8 lengths. Strong record with Alexander Bendezu in the irons, including a win. Expecting a bold showing. POLTERER (5) scored by 6 lengths when resuming last start at Hawthorne (Dirt) over this distance after he was in contention on the bend. Has a very good record over today's journey with seven wins from 14 starts. Bold showing expected. REDFIELD (6) was quickly into stride and went on to score by one length last time out over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. MILLARD'S SMILE (2) was prominent at the bend and finished third last time over 1673m at this track (Dirt), beaten 11 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Nicely placed to run well again.

Second run back. First-up after five months ran on from midfield and scored a big 6 len win at Hawthorne July 31 over 1673m defeating Handsoffthegoods carrying 55.5kg at $2.80. Previously second-up won by 0.5 len at Oaklawn Park February 24 2024 over 1609m defeating Underhill's Tab carrying 55kg at $11.10. Only needs to hold that form to be winning again.
