Louisiana Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Starter Optional Claiming
GUITAR BOY (1) went forward last start over 1509m at this track (Turf) and held on well for second, beaten 0.1 lengths. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. PRINCE JAMES (2) made it two wins on the bounce last time out when he scored by 3 lengths over 1207m at Evangeline Downs (Dirt). Finds a suitable assignment and can add to his outstanding run. CLAY'S BLACK OPAL (4) scored two back at Will Rogers Downs (Dirt) but was below his best last time when seventh over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Finds a nice race and can bounce back. PREMIUM (6) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last start over 1509m at this track (Turf), beaten 2.75 lengths. Fitter for that run. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish.
