Fairmount Park Race 6

Allowance Optional Claiming

Stake: $28,729

DEFENDING ALBERT (1) is an honest type who impressed last time, scoring by 2.75 lengths over 1308m at Ellis Park (Dirt). Has been in great form with two victories from four runs this preparation. Sure to run well. SWEET LA CREMA (5) comes here off a last-start fifth, beaten 5 lengths, over 1207m at this track. Race sets up well for him. HEART N SOUL (6) finished sixth when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1207m at this track, beaten 3 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Nicely placed to find winning ways. KING ANTHONY (4) struggling to break through and over a year since a win, last start finishing second over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Still a maiden this course but has run some good races including three minors and can break through for a long overdue win.
