Louisiana Downs Race 7 - 1M Stakes
AMBRIDGE (11) finished fourth two runs back at Aqueduct (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 7 lengths as favourite after being in contention on the bend over 1609m at Evangeline Downs Turf (Turf). Meeting a deeper field this time but he can go back-to-back. BARRICADE (5) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1408m at Louisiana Downs (Dirt). Drawn to go forward again. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. TITANIUM DEAL (7) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but was below par last time when out of the placings at Evangeline Downs Turf (Turf) over the same trip after he had travelled in a rearwards position. Is yet to be beaten in two starts here. Perfectly placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. LE MONSTRE RAPIDE (3) returns from a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Scored over 1609m at Fairgrounds at the start of last prep. Makes plenty of appeal.

Comes off a 33 day let-up. At the latest run won by 3 len at Oaklawn Park April 23 over 1710m defeating Mandatory Mission with 56kg at $6. Before that 3rd of 10 at Oaklawn Park on April 3 over 1609m, 8 len behind Na Pali Joe with 54.5kg at $8.50. Has a nice gate but this will test.

At the latest run second last of 7 at Churchill Downs on May 9 over 1710m, 11 len behind Consolidated with 53.5kg at $26.18. The run before that settled well back; won by a nose at Lone Star Park April 18 over 1609m defeating Essential Time carrying 53.5kg at $7.30. Better than that recent plain performance suggests.
