Louisiana Downs Race 2 - 1 1/2F Stakes
MJS HEART (6) is a last-start winner over 320m at this track (Dirt), showing good early speed on the occasion and leading throughout to score by 1.75 lengths. One of the top chances again. DG MIA CARTEL (3) lines up for the first time since December 19. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 229m at Evangeline Downs. Sure to make his presence felt. GIA I HEAR A CORONA (5) raced below her best last time when ninth over 201m at this track (Dirt), beaten 3.5 lengths. Finds an easier assignment and can find winning form. EMBER IN THE SKY 3 (8) is back at the races for the first time since November 7. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 302m at Lone Star Park. Has found the right race and is worth including.
