Louisiana Downs Race 6 - 1m 1/2f Stakes

BRILLIANT PLAN (1) started at $4.10 last time but could only manage fourth, beaten 5 lengths, at Lone Star Park over 1609m. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Best figures should see him run well. CAUSEWAY BENNY (3) made it two wins on the bounce last start when he scored by a nose over 1673m at this track (Dirt). Winning rider Lane J Luzzi retains the mount. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again. CRITICAL THREAT (6) was a narrow winner two back at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) then in the placings last time at Evangeline Downs (Dirt). Drops a little in the weights. Kelvin Arana who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Capable of running a bold race. UP N GONE (5) has switched yards since finishing eighth a month ago over 1609m at Evangeline Downs Turf. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
