20:15 fair-grounds Friday 20th February 2026

FACTOR OF TIME (2) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fourth, beaten 3 lengths, over 1m at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf). Well placed and expected to feature. LA MAXIMA (6) scored her maiden win here last time out over this trip, getting the decision by 2 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Winning rider Jose Ortiz stays aboard and she cannot be discounted. JOHN'S JUNE (3) struggled in a tougher race two starts back but last time appreciated the drop in grade and bounced back to salute over 6f at this track (Dirt). Should measure up again. PLATINUMUS MAXIMUS (7) raced on the speed when resuming last start over this course and distance and stuck on well to finish third, beaten 7 lengths. Ready to go a couple better.
