Louisiana Downs Race 1 - 6f Stakes
RIPPLE'S ROCKET (4) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 9 lengths away in second over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to take this out. CLASSIC ALPHIE (5) is back after a break of 12 weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1106m at Turf Paradise. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. COLLECT NOW (7) finished 4.5 lengths away in second when resuming from a break on a dirt track at this track over 1106m. Followed up with an unplaced effort on turf at Louisiana Downs Turf over 1509m. Will be hard to beat back to the dirt here. CAJUN SWAGGER (1) is a maiden who has filled a minor placing three times in nine starts. Never a threat when resuming last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt), finishing 10 lengths from the winner in third. Has ability and shapes as a top-three chance.

Most recently second last in a small field at this track on May 26 over 1207m, 23 len behind Heroic Act with 54.5kg at $81.80. The run before that second last of 12 at Oaklawn Park on April 24 over 1609m, 27 len behind Awol carrying 52kg at $63.80. Can do a lot better than that last run.
