Louisiana Downs Race 4 - 6 1/2f Stakes
RUNNER RUNNER (2) is a 23-start maiden who could only manage to finish sixth at his latest appearance over 1673m at this track (Dirt). This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. PALACE ALEX (1) settled in a rearwards position and never came on when resuming last start, finishing fifth and beaten 16 lengths over 1408m at this track (Dirt). This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. TACLOBAN (5) resumes from a spell of 11 months and is having his first outing under new trainer Fletcher Player. Finished ninth at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) over 1006m at the opening run last time in work. Sound top-three prospects. BABBLING BROOKS (3) is a three-year-old gelding on debut from the stable of Eric R Nelson. By Taylor's Sense from Majestic Kindness. Watch the market closely.
