Fonner Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming
CHEERS TO CANDY (7) First up after a break of 43 weeks. Zipped home into 3rd beaten by just over 8L last run at Lone Star Park and competing in an easier class. Among better hopes. AZTEC GEM (6) Was overpowered late when 3rd beaten by 1 1/2L last start at this venue but challenged by more formidable competitors. Displays good tactical speed. Can take this out. FIERCE CAT (2) Backing up quickly for this race. Lost ground in the run home when 10th last run here. Expected to rebound and has a positive draw. Up against stronger competition. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. PAKULA (4) On a quick turnaround. Folded up in the straight when 7th last run at the track. Should improve but facing a stronger group of contenders. Will be down in distance. Keep in mind.

On a short back up. Was well beaten when 5th last start here but has drawn the rails. Always seems to find the line well. Down in trip. Couldn't have in this.

On a quick back up. Didn't threaten when 10th last run at this track. Expected to rebound and can find a nice position from the draw. Coming back in distance. Capable type.

Applied plenty of pressure when 3rd beaten by 1 1/2L last start at this venue but challenged by a tougher grade. Shows good early pace. Must respect.

Resuming after a spell of 43 weeks. Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last run at Lone Star Park and goes down in grade. Racing for a new trainer. Good chance at a nice price.
