Louisiana Downs Race 5 - 7 1/2F Stakes
GENTLE SOUL (8) did a great job to score by half a length over today's course and distance when resuming from a spell last start. Finds the right race and can get the job done again. GUITAR BOY (2) finished second two runs back at Fairgrounds (Turf) then improved last time out to score by half a length over 1673m at this track (Dirt). Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. UNCLE BERLEY (6) has notched up two dirt track wins in a row, the latest scoring by one length at this track over 1106m eight days ago. Racing in great heart. Among the main hopes again. BATTLE SCARS (4) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a third most recently over 1509m at this track (Turf) when beaten one length. Should be in the mix again.
