Louisiana Downs Race 4 - 6F Stakes
SHINOVAR (5) brings the most solid recent sprint form, twice runner-up at Delta over 1006m and 1308m before a 3rd at Lone Star over 1308m, beaten 4.3L after racing handy. KHOZY'S OPERETTA (6) maps on speed and just ran 2nd at Evangeline over 1207m, beaten 7.8L, which reads well back to this trip. TAP NOW (2) has two minor placings this season and was 3rd at Sam Houston over 1308m two back; a clean jump from gate 2 can see her figure. SELL THE BUFFALO (1) has a local track 2nd and was runner-up at Evangeline over 1408m in April, and the drop back to 1207m with blinkers could sharpen her early.
