Fair Grounds Race 3 - Race 3 - Maiden Special Weight
CHASING FREEDOM (4) was prominent into the straight last time but was overwhelmed late and wound up in seventh over 1106m at Fairgrounds (Turf). Well placed on this occasion and gets his chance to break the ice. TAN CHULO (1) did a good job last start to finish second at this track (Turf) over 1106m, beaten half a length. Should be at his peak now. Ready to win. MARKET RUNNER (7) did little and finished 8 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1710m at Fairgrounds last start, a less impressive effort than his fifth at Fairgrounds the run before. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. SOULMAN (6) was in the money two starts back at Fairgrounds then missed the frame but was not too far away last time over 1106m at this track (Turf). Has ability and definitely worth including.

The start before that 4th of 10 at Fairgrounds on December 20 over 1207m, 9 len behind Golden Tempo with 54.5kg at $6.20. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
