Louisiana Downs Race 5 - 1m Stakes

FAST CONNECTION (1) hit the frame when resuming two runs back at this track but couldn't back it up last start when sixth, beaten 8 lengths, over 1609m at Evangeline Downs Turf (Turf). Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance. This is a nice drop in grade so he is perfectly placed to score. NOBEL GARY (5) was last at the races when he saluted over 1673m at Louisiana Downs (Dirt) on June 22. Should be hard to stop. WENDY'S GHOST (4) finished midfield when resuming from a break last start over 1609m at Listed level at this track (Turf), beaten 11 lengths when in the market. Nice class drop this time. Should be involved in the finish. FIELD STUDY (2) was sent out at $42.20 last time but ran above expectations and won over 1609m at Evangeline Downs Turf (Turf). A chance again based on that latest offering.

Second-up settled back and ran on when 6th of 10 at Evangeline Downs Turf on September 4 over 1609m, 8 len behind Lammas with 53kg at $14.20. Capable of a better showing. Respect.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 32-day let-up. At the latest run came from midfield and won by a 0.1 len at Evangeline Downs Turf on August 27 over 1609m defeating Maki Monarchy with 55kg at $42.20. The race before that 4th of 7 at Evangeline Downs on July 23 over 1308m, 7 len behind String Theory with 55kg at $19.80. Solid prospects and a good stall doesn't hurt.

Comes off a 54 day let-up. Most recently 3rd of 7 at this track on August 5 over 1609m, 2.5 len behind Maki Monarchy with 56.5kg at $10.60. The start before that ran on from midfield and won by 2 len at this track on July 22 over 1609m defeating Hurricane Comin with 56kg at $16.50. Not going well enough. Needs to lift.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 48-day let-up. At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.5 len at this track on August 11 over 1609m defeating Emancipation with 56kg at $2.50. The race before that 3rd in a small field at Louisiana Downs on June 22 over 1673m, 12 len behind Nobel Gary with 56.5kg at $5.50. Last-start winner who can measure up again.
