Fair Grounds Race 3

Maiden Special Weight

Prize Money: $75,843

VITRUVIUS (9) started favourite last time over 1006m at this track (Turf) but found a couple better, making it two minor placings from three career starts. Has a tricky draw to overcome but he should be involved in the finish. FIRST SAMARITAN (8) resumed from a break as favourite and ran well but found one better when second over 1006m at Delta Downs. Tackles a turf track for the first time today. Should camp just off the leaders. Best form puts him right in this. CRIMSON RED ROAD (1) was in contention on the bend and finished third last start over 1006m at Delta Downs (Dirt), beaten 9 lengths. Goes up a rung or two but he is capable of a big run. DASHING DIEM (2) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in second over 1006m at this track (Turf). Can figure in the finish.

At debut, made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 9 at this track on February 6 over 1006m, 4 len behind Lafitte's Legacy with 53kg at $17.10. Encouraging effort on debut and another big run is on the cards.

Was at very long odds at debut, second last of 10 at Fairgrounds on February 17 over 1207m, 23 len behind A Hint Of Scandel carrying 54.5kg at $89.90. Requires plenty of improvement after a modest debut.
