Fair Grounds Race 9 - Race 9 - Claiming
BADGEBALL (4) resuming after back-to-back wins at the end of last campaign at this track and Churchill Downs. Should park just off the speed. Will give a great sight. MY LIAM (8) did a great job to score by 7 lengths over today's course and distance last start in a much improved run. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. BARON OF THE NILE (1) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1308m at Delta Downs, beaten 6 lengths. This doesn't look as hard so he is likely to play a big role. ONCOMING TRAIN (2) was safely held when fifth last time out over 1207m at this track, beaten 6 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Well placed and can make amends.

Comes off a 32 day let-up. Most recently 3rd of 7 at Delta Downs on February 5 over 1308m, 6 len behind Solidify with 54.5kg at $8.30. Before that ran last in a small field at Delta Downs on December 30 over 1509m, 7 len behind Time To Party with 54.5kg at $22.60. Likely to go well from the rails draw.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Comes off a 52 day let-up. First-up ran last of 8 at this track on December 28 over 1106m, 20 len behind Briterdayzahead with 54.5kg at $30.40. Second-up 5th of 9 at this track on January 16 over 1207m, 7 len behind Briterdayzahead with 55kg at $52. Other runners are much more appealing.
