Fonner Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Maiden Claiming
DARK THIRTY (6) is a seven-start maiden who returned last time and finished fifth at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) over 1609m, beaten 17 lengths. Fitter for that outing and is a great chance to break her maiden status. WISHFUL WINKER (7) is yet to break through after 12 starts. Missed the placings last time out over 1408m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt). Great chance to get off the mark this time. RECTIFY (1) is a nine-start maiden who finished sixth, beaten 42 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 805m at this track (Dirt). Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration. SUNDAE SPRINKLES (2) returns after eight months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a sixth over 1207m at Harrah's Columbus Nebraska (Dirt). Rates highly on best form and a bright return wouldn't surprise.

Last start 4th in a small field at this track on February 15 over 805m, 6 len behind Paarl carrying 56.5kg at $14.60. The race before that 6th of 9 at Mahoning Valley on January 7 over 1207m, 11 len behind Night Birdie with 57kg at $4.90. Better than that recent plain performance suggests.

Second-up. First-up after two months ran last in a small field at Will Rogers Downs on February 10 over 1207m, 26 len behind Girls Knicks Now carrying 57kg at $20.70. Previously second-up eased back early on 3rd in a small field at Harrah's Columbus Nebraska on July 11 over 1006m, 10 len behind Our Secret Code with 55kg at $32. Unlikely to threaten.
