Louisiana Downs Race 4 - 7F Stakes
GOD GIVEN (1) was an emphatic winner last time over 1673m at this track (Dirt) with today's rider E Nieves engaged. Looks set to go close again. DAN D'ORO (5) got the prize two runs ago at Evangeline Downs. Safely held last time out when third over 1673m at Evangeline Downs, beaten 7 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Has the talent to produce another win. CRECENCIO (7) is resuming from a spell of four months and having his first run for the Jorge Gomez yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at Fairgrounds (Dirt) over 1673m. Among the better hopes while fresh. DIXIE'S ASTRO (4) put the writing on the wall last time when a close second at this track (Dirt) over 1408m. Generally goes well here. Too good to ignore.

Recent form sound. Returns from a 41-day let-up. At the latest run 3rd of 9 at Evangeline Downs on April 22 over 1673m, 7 len behind Barricade with 56kg at $11.80. Before that won by 2.75 len at Evangeline Downs April 9 over 1408m defeating V Cut with 56kg at $4.90. Best form should see him measure right up.
