Fair Grounds Race 9 - Race 9 - Maiden Special Weight
I GOT THE HINT (5) has been racing in great heart with two top-three finishes on end, the latest a second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when he was prominent throughout. Must raise the bar but another big run will not surprise. A HINT OF SCANDEL (9) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish second over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Should settle on the speed despite the draw. Has a good association with Jamison Mudd with a run of three top-three results. Best form puts him right in this. DIRTY STRAIGHT UP (8) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at his second outing when in contention on the corner, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1207m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. MY TOUCH (3) is a well-related three-year-old colt making his first appearance at the races. By Star Guitar from Touch Magic who has produced some fine gallopers, including winners at black type level. Promising type who is ready to run a bold race.

Form hard to fault. Last start came from midfield; 2nd of 7 at this track on January 25 over 1207m, 4.5 len behind Bubby carrying 52kg at $1.50. The start before that set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 7 at this track on December 14 over 1207m, 1.3 len behind Dickie T with 52kg at $8.60. Major player on recent form.
