Free racing tips: Man On The Spot previews every race from Fonner Park


Check out our race-by-race verdicts and nap selection for Tuesday's meeting at Fonner Park.

22.00 (All times BST): Miss Blue Rooster, runner-up in a similar race here a fortnight ago, had earlier finished behind P R GOLD MONEY when Chris Fackler's mount stayed on strongly into second over 4f. Back over this more suitable trip it's the latter who can come out on top here. Miss Justice is held by Miss Blue Rooster on the balance of form but the improving Zibby Too shouldn't be far away on just her fourth start with leading rider Jake Olesiak on board.

22.27: EMMAS SILVER ROSE has ben narrowly beaten the last twice over the track and trip after setting the pace and this looks a good opportunity to get back on the winning trail. She had Dreamingndiamonds out of the money here last month and though the latter did better last time she seems unlikely to reverse the form. Sabebra, Behold De Sky and Gonewiththebreeze are also held on latest running though the latter can do better as she showed when scoring on her previous start.

22.54: Talk Big Money looked a likely future winner when runner-up over an extended 6f here last month but never got going last time. He's never won in 11 starts while Captain Amante, who generally runs in sprints, is still a maiden after 41 outings so can hardly be the pick with any confidence. WILD PAINT was behind that pair last month but showed a bit more dash last time and with the longer trip likely to suit he gets the nod in a trappy contest. Both Walker's Bullet and Witts Hurricane have yet to reach a place but haven't had much experience and are open to improvement.

23.21: Armando Martinez leads the jockeys stats but wasn't on board when TRASK landed a similar contest at Columbus in September. His mount didn't show much on his debut here a couple of weeks ago but will have needed the run and is expected to do much better so gets the nod. The very experienced Rulethenight has managed to win eight races and this is his level so has to be on the shortlist while seven-times winner King Of Anything is making his way back after a very long absence and should now be reaching his peak. Classic Czar has gone off the boil since scoring at Louisiana Downs in September.

23.48: This is a poor claimer and Big Hearted Factor is taking a drop in grade. A four-times winner, he would have an obvious chance on his victory at Columbus last August. The veteran ELUSIVE BLUEBOY has a strike-rate of 11-48 and this is his level. He was having only his second start from a long lay-off when placed here a couple of weeks ago and can get back on the winning trail. Air Assault is another prolific winner and he'll be better for a recent run, his first since September, and he had Diesel's Prize behind when scoring here last summer. Dazzle Man was also in good form last summer but hasn't shown much in four starts since his return to action.

00.15: Franki D Oro is having her first start on this track having been claimed when finishing third at Sam Houston last month. She's generally competed at a slightly higher level and looks certain to go well. WACCA WACCA WACCA (NAP) arrives in top form having landed a similar race last week. She's only three and has much more scope than most of these so can complete a quick double. She had A J Hart behind for that victory and should confirm the form while the latter holds Hinini on their run here earlier this month. Chace B A Lady was having only her second track start when landing a similar race last month so could provide the main threat.

00.42: Senator Robert battled on under Dakota Wood to beat Empirical Data and gain his ninth career victory a fortnight ago though that was a very poor claimer and he was earlier behind Mayhawk when the latter scored last month. Trapper Peak went close to gaining his first success on the track last time but just didn't last out the mile and should do better over this trip. MAGNANIMUS MAN, a five-times winner, was having his first start here when a very good third in a slightly better race last month and looks ready to add to his tally.

01.09: Having won four of her last five, including her first three on this track, SHADY LANE is taken to complete a four-timer under Jake Olesiak. She's shown great determination for all of her victories including at this level and she held off Jagged Arrow in good style last time. She also holds Ornamental Iron and Mayzee on her victory in February when subsequent winner Indy N Roses disappointed. The latter had May Flowers behind when scoring a fortnight ago though Chris Fackler's mount was finishing strongly and could reverse the places.

01.36: Hard Story makes his track debut after racing in slightly better company at Will Rogers but looks to have a difficult task. Wise Ron gained his first success over 6f here last month but was behind BIG EGYPT and Spunky Kitten over the track and trip a couple of weeks ago. Thunder Box had Big Egypt back in third when runner-up here in February though that was over 6f and the latter can gain revenge over today's trip and land this. Auctioneer lost his maiden tag at the 16th time of asking three weeks ago though that was over an extended 6f and he's failed to reach a place in two start over this trip.
