Louisiana Downs Race 5 - 6F Stakes
ONGOING CHALLENGE (1) has placed in three of his last five, most recently finishing 3rd at Delta Downs over 1609m, beaten 3.3L. BOTTLE IT (6) was runner-up two starts back at Delta Downs over 1006m and looks a key chance if repeating that effort. MISSING BRIAN (4) comes off a 4th at Evangeline Downs over 1408m and can be competitive again. SUNSET SKIP (3) improved to 4th at Fair Grounds last start and could figure with further progress. JOEY THE GREMLIN (5) and BETRBREADY (2) need to lift on recent runs.
