Louisiana Downs Race 3

5 1/2F Stakes

Prize Money: $16,061

ONE SURE HIT (2) went forward last start over 1006m at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) and held on well for third, beaten 4.5 lengths. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. HUSTLIN' MAN (1) debuted six weeks ago when he finished sixth over 1207m at Fairgrounds (Dirt), beaten 11 lengths. Likely improver and can get off the mark this time. MIDNIGHT COAL (6) is a three-start maiden who finished 11th at his most recent appearance over 1006m at Evangeline Downs (Dirt). Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. COLLECT NOW (3) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. At the last run before the layoff he finished fifth over 1408m at Delta Downs (Dirt). Has ability and is worth including.

Four-year-old gelding by Country Day out of Spirit Of A Cat who has taken a long time to make it to the track. Worth considering if there is a move for him.
