Delta Downs Race 1 - 6 1/2F Stakes
AHOOGA (4) remains a maiden after six runs. Was one of the favoured runners last time but could only manage to finish fourth over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. DIRTY DEAL (7) was always forward and boxed on to finish second over 1509m at this track (Dirt) last time. T G Thornton stays on and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Sure to play a big role. PAROLE DRAMA (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 7 lengths when fifth over 1106m at Fairgrounds two-and-a-half weeks ago. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. EVERLOVINGMO (2) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Juan A Larrosa. By Mo Tom from Florida Keys. Top-three chance.

Comes off a 33 day let-up. At the latest run 4th of 7 at this track on January 3 over 1308m, 7 len behind Atchafalaya Sunset with 55kg at $1.90. The run before that second last in a small field at this track on December 12 over 1308m, on a wet track; 9 len behind Benjamino with 53.5kg at $6.60. Can make amends.

Last start second last of 9 at this track on December 23 over 1509m, on a wet track; 27 len behind Mogumbeaux with 55kg at $25.70. Might just find this lot a bit smart.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 38-day let-up. Most recently made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 7 at this track on December 29 over 1509m, 3 len behind Nate's Focus with 55kg at $5.50. The run before that 2nd of 9 at this track on November 29 over 1308m, 0.5 len behind Zip Around with 54.5kg at $5.80. Has the credentials to play a major role.
