Louisiana Downs Race 3 - 7f Stakes
PRETTY DANG FAST (6) finished seventh two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1609m at Lone Star Park, beaten 5 lengths. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. SHINOVAR (4) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with strong prospects. ARANSAS PASS (3) returns after 19 months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 1609m at Del Mar (Dirt). Has ability and is a leading player. SUL JOURNALIST (5) stepped out on her debut over 1207m at this track (Dirt) seven weeks ago and finished fifth, beaten 7 lengths. Will take a lot from that last run and is worth following up.

Racing first-up today. Not seen since she finished last in a small field at Del Mar November 10 2024 over 1609m, 13 len behind Aunt Mo with 54.5kg at $6. On debut sixth of 9 at Del Mar Turf August 17 2024 over 1609m, 16 len behind Thought Process carrying 54.5kg at $4.40. Should be right in the finish.

Resuming. Finished off last preparation second last in a small field at Delta Downs December 22 over 1509m, on heavy track; 11 len behind Cairo Dancer carrying 55kg at $9.60. On debut second last of 7 at Delta Downs November 21 over 1609m, 10 len behind Encore D'oro carrying 53kg at $60.60. This looks too tough.
