Fair Grounds - Race #8 - Post: 3:57pm - Optional Claiming - 6.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $49,000 Class Rating: 96
Rating: 4
#7 EVEN (ML=8/1)
#6 TEMP (ML=6/1)
EVEN - This gelding is in fine physical condition. Ran second on February 4th. Classic angle - 3rd or 4th start after a vacation generally leads to a big effort. A live one today. TEMP - Just check out his most recent speed figure, 96. That one looks good in this field.
Vulnerable Contenders:
#2 HARD CASE (ML=3/1),
#8 DR BALLENGER (ML=4/1),
#4 ALACO CASTLE (ML=9/2),
HARD CASE - In the last affair this horse finished ninth. Doesn't look good for his chances this time around. DR BALLENGER - This colt hasn't had any recent favorable outcomes in short distance races. I find it hard to invest in him in this race. ALACO CASTLE - If today's clash shapes up right, all the speedballs will force a ferocious speed battle early. Too bad this horse is one of those front runners.
STRAIGHT WAGERS:
Putting our cash on #7 EVEN to win. Have to have odds of at least 5/2 or better though
EXACTA WAGERS:
Box [6,7]
