Louisiana Downs Race 5 - 1m Stakes

MATCHING FUNDS (3) went fast early over 1710m at this track (Dirt) last time and dug deep to score by 3 lengths. Has the ability to build on that strong effort last start. DON PABLO (4) has been in great form recently, the latest effort a dominant win by 4 lengths over 1509m at Evangeline Downs Turf (Turf). Likely to be in the finish again. EMANCIPATION (1) got a long way back when 13 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1609m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at Fair Meadows the run before. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. WESTERN RUN (6) was beaten 8 lengths into eighth in a 1509m contest at this track last time out. Capable of featuring prominently.
