Fair Grounds Race 2

Maiden Optional Claiming

Prize Money: $44,843

SPECIAL AWAKENING (2) returns after eight months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a sixth over 1811m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Can make a winning return. FLASH OF CHAOS (4) made progress last time out, finishing 8 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1673m at this track. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MULA (3) last appeared when he did not complete the course on July 14 at Ellis Park. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. ATHLETIC LIKE (7) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1673m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.

Returns from a 34-day let-up. Most recently ran on from midfield; 2nd of 8 at this track on December 21 over 1673m, 8 len behind Different Gravy carrying 54.5kg at $2.50. The start before that 8th of 12 at Churchill Downs on November 29 over 1710m, 15 len behind Liberty National with 54kg at $22.86. Nice effort last time so worth following up.
