Emily's Analysis

Fair Grounds Race 1

Post Time 12:45 PM CST
Analysis by Emily Gullikson

#7 PASTA SALAD RHONDA recorded a B, winning type effort under similar conditions going back to October at Hawthorne. Their first FG race of the season showed run making a WIDE CLOSE despite the 8th place outcome and off that race was compromised with the TACTIC- and surface switch to the main track (poor track conditions) in January chasing an open length pacesetting winner. 

Fair Grounds Race 4

Post Time 2:15 PM CST
Analysis by Emily Gullikson

In a competitive race #1 JUSTAWALKINTHEPARK has a longshot look. They moved up at the level, distance and scheduled TURF surface back on 12/29 making a CLOSE and strong GALLOP+ to support back under those conditions here. Physically they present TURF and should be fit after the WIDE trip at the higher level last out.
