Fair Grounds Race 8 - Shantel Lanerie Memorial S. Stakes
RISING INFLATION (4) Ran 4th last run at this track. Expecting improvement here but up against a more competitive field. H Javier Hernandez and Jonathan Wong are a duo to watch closely. Expected to fight out the finish. MARGIE'S INTENTION (2) Fresh after a break. Couldn't keep the pace going when 3rd last run at Aqueduct and stepping down to a lower level. Inclined to respect any betting moves and presents good prospects. CANAL STREET (5) Finished well when winning last run at the track but challenged by more formidable competitors. Going well this preparation. Axel Concepcion rates highly aboard. Suited. BLUE FIRE (1) Did well when 2nd last time at Oaklawn Park and gets the perfect alley. Displays good tactical speed. Putting up notable efforts since coming back from a break. Won't be far away.

Did well when 2nd last time at Oaklawn Park and will appreciate a good barrier. Expecting to settle positively. In top form since resuming from a spell. Rising in class. Has every chance.

Fresh today. Set a strong tempo before tiring to place 3rd last run at Aqueduct and competing in an easier class. Stable is in form. One of the main chances. Respect.

First up and even though peaking on the run still placed 3rd beaten by just over 6L first up last preparation at this venue. Competing in a higher grade. Hard to warm to at present.

At $3.50 came in 4th last run here. Expecting improvement here but up in class. H Javier Hernandez and Jonathan Wong work well together. Tracking very well this campaign. Expected to be competitive.

Finished well when winning last run at the track but competing in a more challenging class. Axel Concepcion does know the horse very well. Going well this campaign. A threat to the other main hopes.
