Louisiana Downs Race 8 - 1 1/2F HCap
MC BLUE CARTEL (9) Set the tempo to win by a margin of 3L last start at this track and having second career run. Will be positive in the run early. Underrated. CONAIR CARTEL (4) Dictated terms in front when winning by a margin of a head last time at this venue and having second career run. Has early speed and positions nicely. Deserves consideration. AWESOME EAGLE V (8) Assumed control from the start to win by 1/2L last time at the track and was a debutant last start. Should race on the speed. Matched against tougher rivals. A win wouldn't surprise. PURPLE N GOLD BLOOD (1) Was agonizingly close last run at the track and was a debutant last start. Has drawn the rails. Challenged by a tougher grade. Don't disregard.

Right up there last run at the track and was a debutant last start. Gets the perfect gate. Up against tougher competition. Watch the betting.

Jumped at $11.00 and ran 4th last time at this track but fitter for debut run. Likely to get back in the field. Competing in a more challenging class. Prefer a return to something a lot easier.

Went to the front and never looked back to win by a head last time at this venue and was on debut last time. Should muster plenty of early speed. Goes well and could be a value opportunity.

In the money when 3rd last time at this track and was on debut last time. Up against a more competitive field. One for your trifecta.

Threw down a serious challenge last run here and fitter for debut run. Competing in a higher grade. Hard to have.

Ran well when 2nd last time at this venue and having second career run. Change in trainer but facing stiffer opposition. Limited possibility.

Led from start to finish to win by a margin of 1/2L last time here and having second race start. Expecting to settle positively. Racing against tougher rivals. Solid claims.

Assumed control from the start when winning by a margin of 3L last start at the track and having second career run. Matched against a stronger field. Good potential.
