Louisiana Downs Race 4 - 1M Stakes
SEIZE THE WIN (2) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at his latest appearance over 1609m at Evangeline Downs (Dirt). Well placed on this occasion and gets his chance to break the ice. ZONG'S FAVOR (5) could only manage ninth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1609m at Evangeline Downs Turf, beaten 3 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. DULCE LOREFICHE (3) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1609m at Fairgrounds after being in the firing line on the turn. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is good enough to play a major role. LOUISIANA STAR (8) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1609m at Fairgrounds, beaten 15 lengths. This looks a good race for him and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways.
