Louisiana Downs Race 3 - 6F Stakes
RIPPLE'S ROCKET (1) brings the best recent sprint profile, twice placing over 1207m at Oaklawn including 2nd on 26 Mar and 3rd on 11 Apr before boxing on for 4th last start. BET ON TIZ (4) has lifted at his past two runs, finishing 4th over 1207m on 25 Apr after closing from well back. HEROIC ACT (3) resumes and drops back sharply in trip; his narrow 2nd over 1710m at Remington in October reads well if he handles 6f fresh. MOONWALK (6) was 4th over 1609m at Lone Star last time and can be competitive back to a sprint.

Back in trip 402m after a solid 4th at Lone Star Park over 1609m on 24 Apr, beaten 7L in a Maiden Claiming 58 carrying 54.5kg, racing handy throughout behind Drama King. Prior runs included well-held finishes at Sam Houston (1408m) and Turfway Park (1609m). Blinkers go on. Can improve with a similar on-pace run.
