Fair Grounds Race 5

Claiming

Stake: -

WIZARD OF YESTER (2) Led from start to finish when winning by a margin of 6L last time around here and showing consistent performance in races. First race for a new trainer. Can win. PURPLE HEART (3) Moved ahead of some to finish 4th last run at Delta Downs but matched against a stronger field. Always seems to find the line well. Respect. MATINEE IDOL (1) Showed a good turn of foot when 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L last time at the track and up against weaker rivals. Will appreciate a good draw. Solid career start. Deserves consideration. CALIFORNIA SWAG (8) Was strong to the line when winning by more than 6L last run at Delta Downs and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Needs some luck and is an each way suggestion.
