Fair Grounds Race 8

Allowance Optional Claiming

Prize Money: $93,548

WHATA MOON (8) Narrowly beaten last run at this venue and stepping up in distance. Should come to hand quickly. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. A win wouldn't surprise. CALIFORNIA SUNSET (6) Rattled home nicely into 3rd last start at this venue and promising career start. Florent Geroux and Brad H Cox must be respected together. Can give this a shake. PLAY WITH FIRE (1) Picked up late to win last run at the track and was a debutant last start. Drawn the rails. Minor prospects. ANONIMA (4) Strong effort to the line to win last time at Oaklawn Park and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Shows good early pace. Can't be left out of trifectas.

Nice run last start when 0.25L behind Simply Joking at Fair Grounds. 0.25L from the winner in Stakes class race at this track last time out. Going well this prep with two placings from as many starts. One of the major players.
