Louisiana Downs Race 2

7F Stakes

Stake: $16,514

SEEKING SAWYER (5) was a winner last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt) and re-unites with Joel Dominguez who steered on that occasion. Nice weight drop so another bold showing is expected. SAM'S PROMISE (1) built on a nice third when fresh from a spell two starts back at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) with a win over 1408m at this track (Dirt) seven weeks ago, getting home by 8 lengths. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he deserves plenty of thought. INTO WISHING (6) finished midfield at his first run back from a spell last start, beaten 8 lengths over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Will make his presence felt. CHEZ WHIZ (4) produced a reasonable effort when second last start over 1106m at Evangeline Downs. That followed a win at Will Rogers Downs the start prior. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
