Louisiana Downs Race 5

5 1/2f Hcap

Prize Money: $104,167

STAR OF BETHLEHEM (1) is racing well. Scored at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) two back then finished second, beaten half a length, over 1106m in Listed grade at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) at the latest appearance seven weeks ago. Has a high cruising speed. Leading contender. GOLFITO (9) remains unbeaten after two starts, scoring again last time over 1106m at Listed level at Evangeline Downs (Dirt). Hard to find fault. PASTINACA (7) broke through for his maiden win over 1006m at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) last time. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and he is right in the mix again. ARMY RUNNING BAYOU (4) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1106m at Evangeline Downs, finishing 3 lengths from the winner. Best figures have him right in the mix.

Most recently rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 11 at Evangeline Downs on August 22 over 1006m, 0.3 len behind Pastinaca with 54.5kg at $12. Before that ran second last of 8 at Listed level at Evangeline Downs at Evangeline Downs on August 1 over 1106m, 13 len behind Golfito with 53.5kg at $41.90. Narrowly beaten last time but this is too tough.

Last start won by 0.5 len in stakes class at Evangeline Downs at Evangeline Downs on August 1 over 1106m defeating Star Of Bethlehem with 54.5kg at $5.70. Has been racing well. Top prospects.
