Fair Grounds Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming

PRESIDER (3) showed good early speed from the inside draw last time out, leading for home before finding one better over 2414m in Listed grade at Sam Houston Park Turf (Turf). Will take catching. HIGGINS BOAT (5) couldn't have been more impressive first up last start when he scored by 5 lengths over 1609m at this track (Turf). Will be better for that latest run and he is a major player again. POINT PROVEN (1) ran seventh at his latest appearance over 1811m at this track, clocking in 6 lengths from the winner. Winning claims on best figures. FLYING MOHAWK (6) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by 0.3 lengths over 1609m at this track (Turf). Solid top-three prospects. Something for the Multiples: LEGALIZE (7)

Form hard to fault. At the latest run set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 8 at Sam Houston Park Turf in LR on January 24 over 2414m, 1.0 len behind Anegada carrying 54.5kg at $6.20. The race before that scored a big 5 len win at Churchill Downs Turf November 30 over 1811m defeating Mount Rundle carrying 55kg at $3.79. One of the chief contenders.

Having second run back today. Freshened for 56 days. Last run favourite; won by 5 len at this track December 27 over 1609m defeating Foligno with 54.5kg at $2.90. At only start last preparation ran last in a small field at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf in LR on July 5 over 1710m, 6 len behind Encino carrying 54.5kg at $3.30. The one to beat based on that latest effort. Improver with winning prospects.
