Fair Grounds Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Special Weight
CRUISIN CHUCK (8) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third last time out over 1609m in Listed grade at Sam Houston Park Turf (Turf). Finds an easier assignment and can run another big race. EL CAPO (3) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish ninth at his latest appearance over 1710m at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. DEERFIELD (1) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Cherie Devaux. By Twirling Candy from Lightscameraaction. Respect any positive move in betting. PROVIDER (9) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 2.25 lengths from the winner in third over 1710m at this track (Turf). Among the chances.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 42-day let-up. At the latest run 4th of 8 at Fairgrounds on January 24 over 1207m, 9 len behind Noble Affair carrying 54.5kg at $3.60. The race before that ran on from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Fairgrounds on December 20 over 1207m, 1.75 len behind Golden Tempo carrying 54.5kg at $11.90. Can do a lot better than that last run.

Comes off a 49 day let-up. Last start 10th of 12 at Fairgrounds on January 17 over 1710m, 20 len behind Reagan's Honor carrying 54.5kg at $73.20. The race before that 7th of 12 at this track on December 20 over 1609m, 4.5 len behind Aces Honor carrying 54.5kg at $15.30. Likely to find this a bit tough.
