Fair Grounds Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Special Weight
WHAT'S LOVE (1) is a four-start maiden who is well and truly overdue, finishing second at this track (Dirt) over 1609m last time out after being prominent at the corner. Big chance to grab a well-deserved win. IT'S BEEN REAL (7) was well fancied last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when fourth, beaten 11 lengths. Can atone. DAY STORM (5) is finding the breakthrough elusive, beaten 5 lengths into fifth at her latest appearance over 1006m at Delta Downs (Dirt). Can play a significant role. ALL YOU (4) is yet to break through after five starts but not far off a win. Placed two back then missed the frame but was thereabouts last time over 1509m at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf). Will drift back but wind up late. Suited here and can sneak into the finish.
