Louisiana Downs Race 2 - 1F Stakes
THE MAGICIAN (7) went forward last start over 274m at this track (Dirt) and held on well for second, beaten 0.8 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. ALL THAT YARD (2) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to just miss when second over 201m at this track (Dirt). Should run on into the finish again. SHEAZA HERO (3) is going well, scoring by 0.3 lengths two runs back at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) before finishing fourth last time over 201m at this track (Dirt). One of the contenders again. FANCY PAINTS (5) is returning from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Finished ninth at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) over 229m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Ismael Solis Guevara.

Back from a spell. Only had one start last campaign won by 0.8 len at Evangeline Downs December 19 over 229m defeating Sheza Vicious Chick carrying 57kg at $25.50. When resuming last campaign 5th of 7 at Evangeline Downs on October 11 over 229m, 1.75 len behind Rachel Christine carrying 56kg at $10.30. Hard to recommend.

The race before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at Evangeline Downs on December 10 over 274m, 0.5 len behind Courage To Corona with 57kg at $4.30. Made headway last time. Top chance.

Is first-up after a break of three-and-a-half months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last preparation second in a small field at Evangeline Downs November 6 over 201m, a nose behind Live The Way I Talk with 57kg at $2.60. Previously first up; second last of 10 at Evangeline Downs October 3 over 229m, 2.25 len behind First Cash Ha Chi carrying 57kg at $5.10. Likely to run well.

Comes off a 34 day let-up. At the latest run 6th of 10 at this track on January 20 over 201m, 1.75 len behind Jm Stingray carrying 57kg at $18.30. Before that from last on the turn ran last of 8 at Evangeline Downs on December 10 over 229m, 2.75 len behind Bye Bye Baby Forever with 59.5kg at $6.30. Genuine chance on the back of the last effort.
