Louisiana Downs Race 2 - 1m 1/2f Stakes

ROYAL IRISH (5) met with solid support last start over 1710m at Evangeline Downs Turf (Turf) when second, beaten 4 lengths. Has a decent record at this trip with three minor placings from four tries and is among the leading chances. ARCO THUNDER (6) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 5 lengths away in third over 1673m at Louisiana Downs (Dirt) when he was always up in the leading division. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. MATCHING FUNDS (1) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. GOLDEN CITY STREET (2) could only manage to finish fifth, beaten 6 lengths, at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track (Turf). Among the chances in what looks a nice race for him.

Recent form sound. Last start 3rd in a small field at Louisiana Downs on May 16 over 1673m, 5 len behind Missing Brian with 55.5kg at $2.70. The race before that ran on from midfield; 3rd of 11 at Oaklawn Park on May 1 over 1207m, 3.5 len behind Eminent Cat carrying 55kg at $22.40. Plenty to like about his prospects.
