Fairmount Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
Recent maiden winners ALTERNATIVE GRACE (1) and EPIC MOMENT (3) bring the sharpest last-start profiles, both scoring at Fairmount Park in April—Alternative Grace over 1106m and Epic Moment at 1006m after leading. NANDINA (5) is a key chance dropping from Oaklawn claiming grade, having won a Maiden Claiming over 1207m there in March before a handy on-speed fifth last time. HANABI (2) has early pace and was 2nd and 3rd over 1207m here last September, while COME ON LADY (4) drops from tougher AOC company and has prior placings at the track and trip.

Back at it 11 days after finishing 5th of 5 at Fanduel Sportsbook And Horse Racing over 1106m on 28 Apr, beaten 17.5L in an Allowance Optional Claiming 76 after racing handy. Prior runs last season were well beaten at Hawthorne (6th of 6, 31.3L) and Horseshoe Indianapolis (9th of 9, 46L). Only win came here over 1006m in a Maiden Special Weight on 6 Sep 2025 when leading throughout. Needs to lift but can improve with a clean start.
