Louisiana Downs Race 3 - 5 1/2f Stakes
TIZ A HERO (3) is a seven-start maiden who has been in the money at her last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1006m at Evangeline Downs (Dirt). Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Will play a major role. LOVE ME SOME CANDY (1) showed good early speed then led into the straight last start before fighting on to finish third, beaten 5 lengths, over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Should go well. SOXY GIRL (7) settled well back when 39 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1509m at Louisiana Downs Turf last start, a less impressive effort than her eighth at Louisiana Downs Turf the run before. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. MY SWEET ANGEL (2) finished 5 lengths away in fourth at her last appearance over 1308m at this track (Dirt) on August 3 after she got a long way back in the run. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes.

Most recently 3rd in a small field at this track on August 3 over 1308m, 5 len behind Surely The One with 56.5kg at $2.40. The start before that 5th of 7 at Lone Star Park on July 4 over 1106m, 9 len behind Sleepy Rose carrying 56kg at $4. Making headway. Likely to measure up again.

Recent form sound. Last start ran second last in a small field at this track on August 3 over 1308m, 5 len behind Surely The One carrying 56.5kg at $2.40. The run before that 2nd in a small field at this track on June 24 over 1106m, 2 len behind Major Move with 56.5kg at $5. Cannot be ruled out despite a moderate effort last time.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 46-day let-up. Last start sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 8 at Evangeline Downs on July 9 over 1006m, 0.8 len behind Little Millie carrying 55kg at $1.10. The start before that set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 7 at this track on June 2 over 1006m, 2.25 len behind Royal B with 54.5kg at $1.90. Winning chance after a narrow defeat last start.

At the latest run ran last of 9 at Evangeline Downs on July 31 over 1006m, 25 len behind Lucky Juan with 56kg at $76.50. The start before that ran last of 8 at Evangeline Downs on July 9 over 1006m, 17 len behind Little Millie carrying 55kg at $62.50. Not doing enough to threaten the top few today.

Was as a despised roughie at debut, 10th of 12 at Louisiana Downs Turf on July 21 over 1006m, 9 len behind Majestic Moon carrying 52.5kg at $94.50. Deserves another chance.

Most recently ran second last of 10 at Louisiana Downs Turf on August 3 over 1509m, 39 len behind La Jefacita carrying 55kg at $46.40. The start before that 8th of 12 at Louisiana Downs Turf on July 21 over 1006m, 7 len behind Majestic Moon carrying 54.5kg at $58.10. Can turn around the recent ordinary efforts.
