Derby Trail Forums - SUN - Fair Grounds (R7-R10 PK4

Fair Grounds - Closing Day POST SCRATCHES - FAST / GOOD

R7 - OC 40k/N2X (Turf 8F)

#11 Ready to Taunt (8-1) - Finished well in a pace-less race in latest.
#14 Tutti Buona Gente (9-2) - Note: Draws in and will hurt #9 Santa's chances dramatically. Additionally, he took care of a few in here with his front running style.
#3 Forbidden Forest (7-2) - Has been consistent, but mostly underneath. 3RD
#1 Glint (15-1) - Has improved since being switched to the lawn and could surprise.

R8 - G2 New Orleans Handicap

#9 Pants On Fire (9-2) - His return race really sets him up well for this event.
#2 Mission Impazible (5-2) - Defending champ must be considered after gallant effort in G1 Donn. 2ND
#4 Toby's Corner (6-1) - Sharp in return and eligible to make some noise in this division if he stays healthy. 3RD
#8 Fast Alex (8-1) - Not sure he's as good as top three, but he runs well on this surface.

R9 - G2 Mervin H. Muniz Jr Handicap (Turf 9F)

#2 Slow Pace (12-1) - Pletcher seems fit to toss him into graded company off U.S. debut which he was beaten as the favorite at GP.
#4 Smart Bid (5-2) - As good as he was last year when he won this event.
#8 Mr. Vegas (4-1) -Will lead them again and try to hold on. Gutsy customer. 4TH
#6 Casino Host (20-1) - Hoping his most recent win wakes him up as he's shown glimpses of talent. WON $23.80

R10 - G2 Louisiana Derby

#7 Shared Property (10-1) - Gets better draw and should get 1st run on closers with the addition of the hood.
#1 Jones Entry (5-2) - Both have run well on this surface and are obvious must use. 2ND
#11 Rousing Sermon (6-1) - Cali closer looks to get ideal set up with some speed lined up. 3RD
#6 Cigar Street (7-2) - Steps up after crushing maiden foes in route debut. X Factor. 4TH

PK4 - 11 14 / 2 4 9 / 2 4 6 8 10 / 1 6 7 11 = $60

Good Racing Luck
