Louisiana Downs Race 6 - 7f Stakes
RIP CORD (6) Charged home to win last start at Lone Star Park and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Should muster plenty of early speed. Racing consistently this preparation. Good chance in this event. KINGSCLIFF (3) First up today. Led from start to finish when winning by a margin of 4 3/4L last run at Oaklawn Park and form has been improving over recent runs. Deserves consideration. UNIVERSAL SOUND (2) Fresh after a spell. Was agonizingly close last start at Turfway Park and will try to take advantage of the draw. First start for a new trainer. Can go on with it. ESSENTIAL TIME (1) Finished well when 2nd last time around here and will appreciate a good alley. Displaying improvement over the past few runs. Taking on stronger opponents. Not out of this.

Made considerable ground when 2nd beaten by 3/4L last time here and has minimal work to do from the gate. On an upward trajectory in recent races. Up in grade. Can go close.

First up after a break. Set the tempo when winning by a margin of 4 3/4L last run at Oaklawn Park and getting better in recent performances. Good chance at a nice price.

Ran on hard when winning last start at Lone Star Park. Isaac Castillo and Robertino Diodoro are a strong team. Seems very unlikely.

Below par when 8th last start at Fanduel Sportsbook And Horse Racing and challenged by more formidable competitors. Need a lot of luck to be close to winning this.

Romped home to win last start at Lone Star Park and showing improvement in recent outings. Should muster plenty of early toe. In fine form this campaign. Should go close.
