Louisiana Downs Race 1 - 1m 1/2f Stakes
CLASSIC EMBRACE (1) scored a one length win on dirt at this track two starts back but then disappointed on turf last time at Louisiana Downs Turf over 1609m when 7 lengths from the winner in fifth. C Lozada stays on. Should be hard to stop. KATERINI (6) hit the frame with a 5 length second on turf at Louisiana Downs Turf two starts back. Disappointed last time though, again on the turf, at Louisiana Downs Turf over 1609m when 6 lengths from the winner in fourth. Blinkers have been removed. Should be in the finish. SPEAKING OF ART (5) is back at the races for the first time since July 4. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1207m at Remington Park. Makes plenty of appeal. QUEEN BERKELEY (3) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) over 1609m last time, finishing sixth and beaten 9 lengths. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Nicely placed to bounce back.

Second-up. Comes off a 46-day let-up. First-up after three months sat on the pace when 3rd of 7 at Evangeline Downs on July 23 over 1609m, 6 len behind Spicy Italian with 56kg at $4.10. Previously second-up 5th of 9 at Delta Downs on December 29 over 1609m, 7 len behind Knocked Out carrying 54kg at $12.70. Fitter but others appeal more.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 7 at Louisiana Downs Turf on August 24 over 1609m, 6 len behind Seamus's Girl with 55.5kg at $2.70. Before that 2nd in a small field at Louisiana Downs Turf on August 11 over 1006m, 5 len behind Wannawholelottaluv carrying 55.5kg at $2.70. Can make amends for a modest effort last time.
