Louisiana Downs Race 2 - 1m 1/2f Stakes
KINGSCOTE (1) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish third, beaten 5 lengths, over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Has a strong record at this course, scoring two times from four starts. Among the leading chances. PATH TO SUCCESS (5) travelled in a rearwards position and failed to live up to expectations over 1408m at this track (Dirt) last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run before. Has a good record at this course and distance, including three wins. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. RINGSIDE (2) last raced when successful by half a length over 1609m at Lone Star Park (Dirt) nine weeks ago. Definite top-three chance. LEAVING SHADOWS (3) could only manage eighth on dirt over 1207m at this track two back then couldn't find the top-three on turf over 1006m at Louisiana Downs Turf more recently. Rates highly on best figures and has the blinkers removed. Should be in the finish.
