Louisiana Downs Race 5 - 6F Stakes
ONGOING CHALLENGE (1) is back after a break of ten weeks. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at his latest appearance over 1609m at Delta Downs (Dirt). Can make a winning return. BOTTLE IT (6) returns after three-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a sixth over 1006m at Delta Downs (Dirt). Has ability and is a solid chance. MISSING BRIAN (4) is a six-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at his latest appearance over 1408m at Evangeline Downs (Dirt). Expected to feature in the finish this time. SUNSET SKIP (3) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at Fairgrounds, beaten 11 lengths into fourth. Nicely placed to find some form.
