Fair Grounds Race 4

Maiden Special Weight

Prize Money: $77,033

MAXIMUM EFFORT (10) is a three-start maiden who could only manage to finish seventh after being in the firing line on the bend at his latest appearance over 1710m at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. MOUNT VERNON (5) is a three-year-old colt by Constitution out of Ayers Rock set to debut for the Cherie Devaux stable. Bold showing expected. Watch betting. COOL CUSTOMER (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1106m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Strips fitter and can feature. CITATUS (2) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in third over 1710m at this track (Turf). Has upside and must be respected. Something for the Multiples: ROAD TRIPPIN (7)
