Louisiana Downs Race 6 - 5 1/2f Stakes

ROYAL HOPE (4) could only manage fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1106m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Going up a level this time but he is up to the challenge. BLAME ME SERIOUSLY (6) changes rider since being well held last time in sixth over 1106m at this track (Dirt) on July 3. Well placed to make amends. DIXIE'S ASTRO (1) finished seventh over 1408m at this track (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on June 2. Among the better hopes. DEAL ME TRIPS (7) was beaten 15 lengths into seventh in a 1207m contest at Evangeline Downs last time out. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
