Louisiana Downs Race 6 - 1m Stakes
MAD ABOUT MARTHA (7) Jayde J Gelner 3yo by Essential Quality having first start. Follow the money. LA JEFACITA (1) Finished 3rd last run at the track and drawn the rails. Jockey Isaac Castillo riding for trainer Jonathan Wong command respect. Up to these. IONA MCKINZIE (5) Faded to finish 5th last run around here. Has the potential to improve sharply. Will be positive in the run early. Looks a great place bet. WINDY ICE (3) Was strong late when 2nd last time at Lone Star Park and putting a tidy record together so far. Shows good closing speed. Performing honestly since resuming from a break. Each way prospects.

Nice run when 3rd last run at this track and has drawn to do little work. Jockey Isaac Castillo and trainer Jonathan Wong are consistently competitive together. Good enough chance at a very tempting price.

Came on strongly when 3rd beaten by 5L last time at Lone Star Park and gets a favourable alley. Always seems to find the line well. Must be considered here.

At $20.00 weakened to finish 9th last run at Lone Star Park. Displays good finishing speed. Place at best.

Was $11.00 and looked outclassed when 5th last run at this venue. Has the potential to improve sharply. Should muster plenty of early speed. Expecting a solid performance.

Odds of $5.00 and finished 5th last start at Evangeline Downs. Unplaced in career. Will struggle against these.

Jumped at $16.00 and hit the line well when 5th last run at Evangeline Downs and facing a rise in trip. Could feature here.
