Louisiana Downs Race 3 - 1 1/2F Stakes
AJ LETS BLAZE (2) is a genuine three-year-old gelding who resumed with a solid fourth last time out at this track (Dirt) over 201m. A win will not surprise. CHECK OUT JESS (3) raced on the speed from the outset when resuming last start and finished second, beaten half a length, over 320m at this track (Dirt). Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. BLOOD AND CLASS (6) has not won for a long while. Last raced on February 9 when beaten 1.75 lengths into sixth at this track (Dirt) over 320m. Has the talent to return to the winners' list. I LIKE PRIZED BUX (7) finished fifth over 302m at Retama Park (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on July 2. Has switched to the Bradley Bolen stable. One to consider.

Returns from a 53-day let-up. At the latest run won by a nose at this track January 20 over 201m defeating Political Oath with 57kg at $7.40. The race before that came from midfield and won by 0.8 len at Evangeline Downs December 10 over 274m defeating La Chepina with 57kg at $2.50. Prefer to watch at this stage.
