Fair Grounds Race 6 - Race 6 - Maiden Optional Claiming
PRINCE OF LIGHT (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4.5 lengths when fourth over 1710m at Fairgrounds three-and-a-half weeks ago after being prominent at the corner. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. FAST CONNECTION (2) raced on the speed and was game in defeat when a close second last start over 1609m at Fairgrounds (Turf) when in the market. Has registered three minor placings from five runs this preparation. Sure to run another big race. RAMBLIN (3) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1609m at Fairgrounds after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. SYNTAGMA (6) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of B H Cox. By Mckinzie from Snow Fall. Watch the market closely.

Returns from a 42-day let-up. Most recently tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 10 at Fairgrounds on January 1 over 1609m, nose behind High Go carrying 55.5kg at $5.80. The run before that 10th of 12 at Fairgrounds on November 27 over 1609m, 7 len behind Beekman Street carrying 54.5kg at $62.70. Nice effort last time. Can go on with the job now.

Comes here off a 42-day let-up. At the latest run settled back and ran on when 5th of 10 at Fairgrounds on January 1 over 1609m, 7 len behind High Go with 55.5kg at $3.90.
