Louisiana Downs Race 5 - 7 1/2F Stakes
HARD SPUN TO RUN (4) made progress last time out, finishing 5.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1609m at Churchill Downs after being prominent at the corner. Has the ability to produce another positive result. JUNGLE LAW (1) got well back over 1006m at Evangeline Downs (Turf) last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 7 lengths away in seventh. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. CATHY'S BOY (6) finished second last start when fresh from a spell over 1609m at this track (Turf) to make it six minor placings from 12 runs. Goes well here with three top-three finishes to his credit. Sure to be about the money again. PERICULUM (2) is a four-year-old entire who is having his first run for the Henry B Jr Johnson yard. Resumes after finishing tenth at Turfway Park (Synthetic) at his last run six months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but looks well placed. Has to be respected.
