Louisiana Downs Race 5 - 7 1/2f Stakes
WHATDAT (7) is yet to break through after three career starts. Could only manage to finish fourth last time out over 1673m at Louisiana Downs (Dirt) following a minor placing at Louisiana Downs (Dirt) when fresh from a spell the run prior. Terrific chance to break through. NATHAN HENRY (2) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1673m at Louisiana Downs, beaten half a length after being in the firing line on the bend. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. DOUBLE STANDARDS (8) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1673m at Louisiana Downs after missing the placings at the previous appearance. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. ONGOING CHALLENGE (4) could only manage to finish fifth, beaten 3 lengths, after being prominent at the corner at his latest appearance over 1673m at Louisiana Downs (Dirt). Should be about the money.
