Fair Grounds Race 10 - Race 10 - Allowance Optional Claiming
STORMFORGED (2) Fresh after a break. Led from start to finish to win by a margin of 5 3/4L last start at Remington Park and promising career start. Has the ability to figure. RUDE PROCEDURE (4) Ran on strongly to win last start around here but competing in a higher grade. Form has been improving over recent runs. Can take this out. DONEGAL LIGHT (8) Flew home to win last run at Delta Downs and having second career run. Coming to a new trainer. Can measure up to this company. ENGLISHMAN (9) Resumes from a 25 week break. Set the pace to win by just over 7L last start at Churchill Downs and having second race start. Has plenty of early speed. Looks to be value.

Resumes from a break. Dictated the tempo to win by 5 3/4L last start at Remington Park and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Gets a favourable barrier. Solid prospects.

Finished hard to win last start here and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Up against a more competitive field. Definite claims for punters.

Jumped at $28.00 and performed below standard when 6th last start at this venue and coming back in distance. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Racing in stronger company. Can't entertain a bet.

Rounded them up to win last run at Delta Downs and was a debutant last start. First race for a new trainer. Capable of winning this.

Back after a 25 week spell. Led throughout to win by more than 7L last start at Churchill Downs and was on debut last time. Should come to hand quickly. Definitely worth considering.
