Fair Grounds: Race 4
#5 Good Conduct (4-1 morning line odds) has been away a year, but obviously fits over this class, distance and course based on prior form. Trainer Cherie DeVaux has won with 4 of her last 7 starters at the Fair Grounds meeting ($6, $8, $9, $11) – including off a 292-day layoff on Jan. 8 to ease some of the concern with this one’s vacation. She’s 5: 3-1-0 with Jose Ortiz during that run. Win bet #5. Exacta box 5-4 with DeVaux stablemate Time Stone.
Fair Grounds: Race 7
#3 Gaza Heroico (12-1 morning line odds) was one-paced in his US debut at Horseshoe Indianapolis after winning 3 of 5 in his native Chile. Trainer Brad Cox has won with 5 straight starters at Fair Grounds coming into this racing week, all off 65 days or more, including a Horseshoe Indy shipper with Jareth Loveberry in the saddle. Cox is 5: 2-0-2 at the meet with Horseshoe Indy transfers. Worth a shot until the barn goes from this rolling boil to a simmer. Win bet #3.
