Louisiana Downs Race 5 - 1m Stakes

LOUISIANA STAR (1) last appeared when he won over 1509m at this track (Turf) on May 18. Has ability and should be right in the finish. ZONG'S FAVOR (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 13 lengths when fifth in a 1673m contest at Louisiana Downs six-and-a-half weeks ago. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is perfectly placed to score. STAR BYFAR (3) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when sixth, beaten 26 lengths, over 1673m at Louisiana Downs (Dirt) after he travelled towards the rear of the field. Will strip fitter and will be tough to beat. PALACE ALEX (6) is a last-start winner two weeks ago, scoring by half a length over 1106m at Louisiana Downs. Among the main hopes.
