Louisiana Downs Race 5

6F Stakes

Stake: $17,339

EL DEAL ME ACES (1) is a distance specialist who ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1106m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Nicely placed to find winning ways. CITY OF LOVE (5) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a second most recently over 1673m at this track (Dirt) when beaten 9 lengths. Has the right credentials. SAMURAI'S GRANDSON (2) is putting together some solid results. Finished third at this track (Dirt) two starts back then landed the prize by one length last time out over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can build on that last-start success. CALIBRACHOA KID (4) returned from a spell five weeks ago when he was in contention on the turn before being beaten 4 lengths into fourth over 1408m at this track. Strips fitter and can turn things around.
