Fonner Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
AMERICAN SPLENDOR (9) doesn't win very often but ran a strong race last time out over 1509m at Delta Downs (Dirt), finishing second and beaten 1.5 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Has the talent to take this out. PERFECT DEAL (2) settled well back and failed to come on in the straight last start when eighth, beaten 18 lengths, over this course and distance. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is capable of testing her rivals. MARIELITA (5) was prominent at the corner and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 3.5 lengths. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is right in contention. MAXIE LADY (8) was never really a threat when resuming last start over 805m at this track (Dirt), finishing 15 lengths from the winner in seventh. Has ability and shapes as a top-three chance.

Comes here off a 44-day let-up. At the latest run made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 9 at Delta Downs on January 16 over 1509m, 1.5 len behind Graceful Star with 54.5kg at $61.70. The start before that 7th of 9 at Oaklawn Park on December 13 over 1207m, 9 len behind Sthenic carrying 56kg at $73.70. Good effort last start and can build on that performance.
