Louisiana Downs Race 5 - 5f Stakes
EAGLE IN THE AIR (2) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish third over 1006m at this track (Turf) at his latest appearance. Yet to win here at this trip but has never missed the frame from three starts. Should run well. STRATEGIC WARRIOR (5) is a three-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Tristan Ashford barn. Hasn't raced since finishing ninth at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic) three-and-a-half months ago. Not seen at the trials but is in a nice race. Among the leading chances. POPA'S PRIDE (4) was always well out of his ground when 17 lengths from the winner in 11th over 1207m at Evangeline Downs last start, a less impressive effort than his first-up fifth at Evangeline Downs Turf the run before. Has the ability to take this out. CARIBBEAN SON (6) is a four-start maiden who returned last time and finished eighth at this track (Turf) over 1509m, beaten 21 lengths. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration.

The run before that ran second last of 7 at Louisiana Downs on May 18 over 1207m, 13 len behind Lord Leroy with 53.5kg at $18.40. Cannot be ruled out despite a lacklustre effort last time.

Second-up today. Last start ran last of 8 at this track on August 11 over 1509m, 21 len behind Lil Henry carrying 54.5kg at $49.50. At only start last preparation sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 10 at Delta Downs on February 21 over 1308m, 2.5 len behind Parole Drama carrying 52.5kg at $45.40. Should progress from that first-up run.
