Louisiana Downs Race 3

1M 1/2F Stakes

Stake: $16,875

CITY OF LOVE (1) finished seventh two runs back at Fairgrounds (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 8 lengths as favourite after being prominent at the corner over 1673m at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Has the talent to build on that fine effort last start. MY UNCLE LEON (7) finished second over 1710m at Delta Downs (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on February 22. Sure to make his presence felt. GUITAR BOY (4) finished runner-up on dirt over 1673m at Fairgrounds two back then filled another minor placing last start on turf over 1609m at Fairgrounds. Sound record at this distance with two wins and three minor placings from seven runs and shapes as a key runner. UNCLE BERLEY (5) was among the placings on the turf over 1006m at Fairgrounds two back but couldn't find the top-three on the same surface last time out, finishing fifth over 1106m at Fairgrounds. Commendable record at this trip with a win and two minor placings and deserves respect.
