Louisiana Downs Race 7 - 1 1/2F Stakes
AVIONCITO (4) Reeled them in when winning last run at this venue but up against a more competitive field. Will be positive in the run early. Demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Worth consideration. STRUT FOR PETES SAKE (1) Resumes from a 91 week spell. Close to a win last start at Delta Downs and returns to a rise in trip. Should come to hand quickly. Suitably placed in this race. JESS SO BLESSED (2) Has a good record first up. Struggled when 7th last run at Evangeline Downs but gets a favourable stall. Facing a stronger class. Gets a chance to win. FACE OF A ROGUE (7) Not in contention when 10th last start at this track but returns to a longer distance. Change in trainer but competing at a higher class. Looks a great place bet.

Fresh today after a 91 week spell. Narrowly denied a win last start at Delta Downs and back over extra ground. Shows good early pace. Drawn well. Should go close.

Could build on a strong first up record. At 7/1 had difficulty when 7th last run at Evangeline Downs but will try to take advantage of the draw. Can measure up against these.

Mediocre attempt when 7th last time here and facing a stronger group of contenders. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Needs a lot of luck.

Picked up nicely to win last run here and getting better in recent performances. Likely to be well placed early. Going well this preparation. Good chance in this.

Lacked competitiveness when 9th last run at this venue and matched against tougher rivals. Very competitive this campaign. Others are better.

Odds of 13/1 and moved ahead of some to finish 5th last run at the track but taking on stronger rivals. Will be trying to topple them late. Can show up in this at odds.
