Louisiana Downs Race 3 - 1M 1/2F Stakes
GOD GIVEN (2) finished third when resuming from a spell last start over 1408m at Evangeline Downs. Looks to have an edge on most of these. SAVED (7) finished out of the money two starts back then he settled well back and was beaten 15 lengths when sixth over 1207m at Oaklawn Park seven-and-a-half weeks ago. Has the talent to produce a better result. PEYTON'S DAY (1) was in the money two starts back at Sam Houston Park Turf but was unable to repeat the effort last time when eighth, beaten 18 lengths, at Evangeline Downs Turf (Turf) over 1609m. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he will be hard to beat. AIN'T NO DISCO (6) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a eighth over 1408m at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) after he got a long way back in the run. Good enough on his day and can play a prominent role.

Last start got back early 8th of 11 at Oaklawn Park on April 10 over 1609m, 20 len behind Holus Bolus with 51.5kg at $48.80.

At the latest run got back early 8th of 12 at Evangeline Downs on April 9 over 1408m, 17 len behind Dan D'oro with 56kg at $5.60. The start before that second last of 8 at Fairgrounds on March 12 over 1673m, 11 len behind Jr's Gift carrying 55kg at $11.70. Better than that recent ordinary performance suggests.
