Louisiana Downs Race 1 - 5f Stakes
ME PROMESA (6) turned in a fine effort to score by 0.8 lengths at today's track and distance last start which was an improvement on the first-up performance. Tackling an easier race so he is sure to be right there at the finish. OLE MISTER (1) saluted at Louisiana Downs two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when in the firing line on the bend before finishing fourth over 1006m at this track, beaten half a length. Meets some better types this time but a better run will not surprise. HUSTLIN' MAN (2) could only manage seventh two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1006m at this track, beaten 2 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. BAYOULAND RED (3) resumes. Wasn't far away at last run before a break, finishing seventh over 1207m at Louisiana Downs (Dirt) three months ago. Can make his presence felt.

Recent form sound. Returns from a 35-day let-up. Last start 4th of 7 at this track on June 29 over 1006m, 0.5 len behind Leisurely with 53.5kg at $5.40. The run before that scored a big 4 len win at Louisiana Downs May 12 over 1408m defeating Nelle Tue Mani carrying 54.5kg at $1.70. Showed enough last start to suggest he can take this out.
