Louisiana Downs Race 5 - 1m Stakes
GOT STRIPES (7) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at Evangeline Downs Turf. Couldn't follow that up last time out when third over 1609m at this track, beaten 7 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. ESSENTIAL TIME (9) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at Lone Star Park Turf, beaten 6 lengths into seventh. Has the class to take care of this field. FRIDAY NIGHT FEVER (2) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, clocking in 8 lengths from the winner. Definite chance. STAR BYFAR (1) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at this track (Turf) over 1609m last time, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
