Louisiana Downs Race 1 - 1 1/2F Stakes
IVORYS CARTEL (7) is back from a spell of three months. Was narrowly beaten at his only appearance when last in work at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) over 366m. Comes here with definite claims. CAPITAL HATTERS (1) finished fifth over 274m at this track when resuming last start, beaten only 2 lengths. This doesn't look as hard so he is a leading player. F DEE (6) broke through for his maiden win over 402m at this track (Dirt) last time. Looks well placed and he is right in the mix again. JJS EAGLE (2) was prominent at the turn and finished third last time over 274m at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 1.5 lengths. Perfectly placed and is sure to take a ton of beating.
