Fair Grounds Race 7

Maiden Special Weight

Prize Money: $92,725

KELZ (2) was prominent at the corner and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1710m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. MARAUDER (3) wasn't far off maiden success before a 12 weeks break, finishing the prep with a minor placing at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Can pick up where he left off. Nicely placed and expected to go well. SILVER SHOT (10) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1710m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. AWESOME GUN (8) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 6 lengths away in sixth over 1710m at this track. No surprise to see him in the frame.
