Fonner Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Starter Optional Claiming
WATER TESTER (6) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was beaten 4 lengths into sixth over 1006m at Delta Downs. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. HOLY BAYOU (2) finished fifth two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1006m at Delta Downs, beaten only a nose after being in the firing line on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. LOCO LUNA (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Fitter so expect a better run this time. PEDRO PEREZ (4) went to the paddock after scoring at his last appearance three-and-a-half months ago over 796m at Arapahoe Park (Dirt). Among the better hopes. Something for the Multiples: MYSTERY MAN (5)

Comes off a 59 day let-up. Most recently tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd in a small field at Delta Downs on December 30 over 1006m, nose behind Truvy's Bandit with 55kg at $2.30. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 10 at Delta Downs on November 29 over 1006m, 5 len behind Wild Bert with 55kg at $2. Rates highly after a strong run last time.

Is first-up after a break of three-and-a-half months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last preparation by 1.0 len Arapahoe Park November 14 over 796m defeating Stanford Holiday with 56kg at $4.10. First up last campaign fifth of 10 at Turf Paradise February 18 2025 over 1006m, 5.5 len behind Gonzaga Bay with 56kg at $32.60. Should be right in the mix.
