Fair Grounds Race 5

Maiden Special Weight

Prize Money: $75,843

KAYLA'S KOMET (7) could only manage fifth on dirt over 1207m at this track two back then couldn't find the top-three on turf over 1106m at Fairgrounds Turf more recently. Tough to beat back on the dirt. Worth another chance. IRISH PUNCH (2) ran a much better race at her second outing last start to finish third over 1207m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Tackling a more suitable race so she is all set to build on that latest effort. WINNING MATTERS (6) was never in contention when 27 lengths from the winner in 12th over 1207m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than her eighth at Oaklawn Park the run before. Finds a suitable assignment and can find winning form. STARTIN TROUBLE (4) is a nicely bred three-year-old filly making her first appearance at the races. By Practical Joke from Conway Two Step who has produced a winner at stakes level. Promising type who can feature in the finish.

Third race start today. At big odds at debut, 5th of 8 at this track on December 20 over 1207m, 8 len behind White Smoke with 54.5kg at $29.30. Second-up 3rd of 9 at this track on February 14 over 1207m, 4 len behind Goodall carrying 54.5kg at $39.30. Well-placed and should prove hard to beat.
