Louisiana Downs Race 4 - 6 1/2f Stakes
MASTER OF ARMS (3) is back from a spell of four months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1207m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Looks set to run well. BANDERA BLING (4) was never in contention when 10 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1509m at Louisiana Downs Turf last start, a less impressive effort than his eighth at Louisiana Downs Turf the run before. Likely improver with strong prospects. IZZY'S BABY BOY (6) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track (Dirt) over 1673m after being prominent from the outset. Should camp just off the leaders. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. MO HOPE (7) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1609m at Louisiana Downs Turf, beaten 3.5 lengths. Well placed to play a part again.
