Fair Grounds Race 6

Maiden Optional Claiming

Prize Money: $42,796

PRINCE OF LIGHT (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4.5 lengths when fourth over 1710m at Fairgrounds three-and-a-half weeks ago after being prominent at the corner. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. FAST CONNECTION (2) raced on the speed and was game in defeat when a close second last start over 1609m at Fairgrounds (Turf) when in the market. Has registered three minor placings from five runs this preparation. Sure to run another big race. RAMBLIN (3) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1609m at Fairgrounds after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. SYNTAGMA (6) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of B H Cox. By Mckinzie from Snow Fall. Watch the market closely.
