Louisiana Downs Race 6 - 7f Stakes

ESSENTIAL TIME (1) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 0.8 lengths over 1609m at Louisiana Downs Turf (Turf) after being prominent at the bend. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is right in contention. UNIVERSAL SOUND (2) is a five-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Jonathan Wong yard. Most recently finished in the placings at Turfway Park (Synthetic) before going for a break. Not seen at the trials but goes well fresh from a spell, filling a placing three times from five runs. Leading player expected to feature. PASSION D ORO (4) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 1.5 lengths over 1609m at Lone Star Park (Dirt). Looks well placed and he cannot be underestimated. RIP CORD (6) showed good early speed and led throughout to score by 0.3 lengths last start over 1308m at Lone Star Park (Dirt). Sure to be thereabouts.

When resuming last campaign second of 8 at Oaklawn Park February 22 over 1207m, 0.5 len behind Coal Fired with 55.5kg at $4.90. A big run will not surprise.

Returns from a 39-day let-up. Last start got back early 8th of 10 at Fairmount Park on June 20 over 1207m, 6 len behind Girlolamo'glory carrying 56kg at $53. The start before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.0 len at Fairmount Park June 6 over 1207m defeating Unconnected with 57kg at $2.80. Prefer to watch at this stage.
