Louisana Downs

R6 - Sunday Silence

#5 American Prize - Failed at odds on in the prep race and looks to bounce back.
#2 Soar Above - Longshot passed a few in turf debut and capable of improving.

R9 - DeBartolo

#2 Wine Diva - Adds the hood for Mouton and Perrodin is a top turf rider in the Bayou.
#8 Nice Inheritance - Makes 2nd start off a break and will get a firm turf course.
#6 Whisper to Me - Pin Oak homebred is coming in off a win and can duplicate that performance.

R10 - G2 Super Derby

#9 Grasshopper - Gave the Derby champ all he wanted in the Travers and catches a break here.
#10 Going Ballistic - Runs his race on any surface. Must used underneath.
#3 Beta Capo - Asmussen runner capable of hitting the board here.
#6 Past the Point - Lightly raced runner has improved BSF wise in every start.

R11 - Unbridled BC Handicap

#1 Middleweight - Local horse should have a nice inside-out trip behind the speed.
#7 Go Between - Has the back class to be a force when it counts.
#6 Costa Rising - Has been freakish in last two, but will be an risky underlay here.
#5 Gigawatt - Will probably comprimise his chances by winging up front with Costa Rising.

PK4 - 2 3 5 7 with 2 6 8 with 9 with 1 5 6 7 = $48 for a buck.

Kentucky Downs
