Fair Grounds Race 12 - Twinspires.com Louisiana Derby Stakes

CHIP HONCHO (3) was thereabouts last time out when second in the G2 Risen Star Stakes at this track (Dirt) over 1811m, beaten half a length. Has been in solid form this campaign with two wins to his name. Expected to feature. GOLDEN TEMPO (5) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish third, beaten 6 lengths, over 1811m in the G2 Risen Star Stakes at this track (Dirt). Blinkers added in a positive sign from the stable. UNIVERSE (4) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1811m at this track, finishing 7 lengths from the winner. Credentials hard to knock. PAVLOVIAN (1) finished third two runs back in Listed grade at Santa Anita (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 0.1 lengths over 1710m in Listed grade at Sunland Park (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
