Louisiana Downs Race 2 - 6 1/2f Stakes
NEW YORK NEW YORK (6) is resuming from a spell of five months and having his first run for the Robertino Diodoro yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic) over 1106m. Can make an immediate impact for the new mentor. WEITZMAN (4) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Strips fitter and can make amends. STORM READY (5) finished second over 1710m at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf) at his most recent appearance on March 12 2025. Now under the care of new trainer Alexis Claire. Looks a strong top-three prospect. LONGNECK (3) was prominent at the corner and finished third last time over 1408m at this track (Dirt), beaten 4 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Suitably placed so anticipating another strong effort.

Second run back. Comes off a 38-day let-up. First-up after three months got back early 4th in a small field at this track on May 2 over 1207m, 4 len behind Clearly Stardom carrying 53.5kg at $1.80. Previously second-up 5th of 7 at Gulfstream Park All Weather on November 28 over 1006m, 7 len behind Esoooo with 54.5kg at $3.80. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.

Gelding returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last campaign third of 9 at Gulfstream Park All Weather January 15 over 1106m, 4 len behind Smokin Jack Flash carrying 56kg at $2.10. When resuming last campaign second in a small field at Gulfstream Park All Weather December 5 over 1106m, a 0.3 lengths behind Lazio with 54.5kg at $3.80. Could prove too smart for these.
