Fair Grounds Race 4 - Sugar Bowl S. Stakes

TOUGH CATCH (4) Came on strongly to finish 2nd when beaten by 5 1/4L last run at Churchill Downs and promising career start. Performing impressively since coming back from a break. Cannot underestimate. INDIAN CAT (2) Went to the front and never looked back when winning by 4 1/2L last run at Delta Downs and will try to take advantage of the draw. No shock to see a win. CONTRABANDIST (5) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd beaten by 3 3/4L last start at Delta Downs. Will be hitting the line strongly. Has the ability to take this out. COUNTTHEBRAVE (6) Fresh from a break. Threw down a serious challenge last run at Keeneland. Can figure.
