Fair Grounds Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming
ORIGINAL SIN (4) continued the great form last start, scoring by one length at this track (Dirt) over today's trip. Likely to measure up again. LURE HIM IN (6) is overdue for a win. Excellent effort last start to finish second in stakes company over 1710m at Gulfstream Park. Should be poised just off the lead. Expected to be in the finish. CLASSIC LEGACY (1) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 8 lengths back in seventh over 1609m at Turfway Park (Synthetic). One of the main contenders. CULTIVATE (2) was responsible for a better run last start, beaten 8 lengths into fifth over 1609m at Fairgrounds Turf. Well placed to make amends. Something for the Multiples: BEDARD (5)

Comes here off a 41-day let-up. Most recently couldn't go on with it; second last of 8 at Turfway Park on January 9 over 1609m, 8 len behind Baby Max with 54.5kg at $11.33. The race before that didn't finish the race at Turfway Park December 21 over 1609m. Capable of a better run.

Racing well recently. Most recently won by 1.0 len at this track January 22 over 1710m defeating Crisis Manager carrying 54.5kg at $4.50. The run before that 3rd of 11 at Churchill Downs on November 30 over 1609m, 4.5 len behind Johny's Rendezvous with 54.5kg at $5.47. Got the job done last time and is a leading hope again.

Second-up. First-up after five months ran last of 8 at this track in the G3 Louisiana Stakes on January 17 over 1710m, 28 len behind Accelerize carrying 53.5kg at $39.20. Previously second-up 2nd in a small field at Del Mar in the G3 Native Diver Stakes on November 23 2024 over 1811m, 1.0 len behind Skinner carrying 55kg at $14.40. Unlikely to threaten.
