Louisiana Downs Race 5 - 7 1/2f Stakes
THEBABESLAYER (2) returns from a layoff of 11 weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1609m at Kentucky. Sure to make his presence felt. TENSAS CAMP ROAD (1) ran a better race last start when he did his best work late to finish a close third over 1609m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. CALICOCO (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at Evangeline Downs Turf, beaten 2.75 lengths into sixth. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. MAGNOLIA WEST (8) has been about the mark of late. Last time out was 1.4 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1609m at Evangeline Downs Turf (Turf). Has one wins to his name at this track so he cannot be underestimated.

Comes off a 31 day let-up. Most recently got back early 3rd in a small field at this track on July 3 over 1609m, 1.1 len behind Global Honor with 56.5kg at $4.20. The run before that ran second last of 7 at this track on June 6 over 1509m, 4.5 len behind Myglorybee with 57.5kg at $2.70. The inside gate is a real bonus.
