Fair Grounds Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming

CONTRABAND EARLY (8) finished fourth last time out over 1609m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Nicely placed and expected to go well. GIRLIE'S MAX (4) was impressive last time over 1308m at Delta Downs (Dirt), scoring by 2.25 lengths. Should park just off the speed. Among the leading chances. TAP THE TEQUILA (9) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Is a winner at this circuit. Shapes as one to consider. MIDNIGHT HALO (3) is back from a spell of three months. Raced once last campaign and finished third over 1408m at Delta Downs (Dirt). Can make his presence felt while fresh. Something for the Multiples: MR. RONNIE (6)
