Continuing on the journey through the MidWestern Americas region, the Spotlight pulls into Louisiana and encounters very foul weather. \u00a0 The featured race is a Starter Allowance for horses that have raced in a recent claiming race with a tag price of $60,000 or less. \u00a0It is 8.5 furlongs in length and will be on a yielding turf track and is a local bred race open to horses age 3 and up.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1 \u00a0LA BREDS TOO \u00a08\/1-Comes off a win with career best speed of 94 on turf winning in the claiming level. \u00a0 He’s won all three lifetime turf races but is untested on wet track surfaces. \u00a0 Could be better than the odds reflect.<\/p>\n
2 \u00a0VOODOO PRAYER \u00a03\/1-Nine year old still has it. \u00a0Won last start with 98 speed with yielding conditions. \u00a0Seems to like bad weather as he is 2-1-0 in three starts in those conditions. \u00a0 Late closer could run off with this one.<\/p>\n
3 \u00a0MIRROR LAKE INN \u00a012\/1-This is no Olympian from Lake Placid, but does shows some favor to off-track conditions finishing ITM 3 of 4 tries without a win. \u00a0Speeds have been in mid-80 range and to be an Olympian, will need to shoot upward quickly.<\/p>\n
4 GRIP THAT STORMY \u00a015\/1-Takes a step back from allowance level and makes first appearance on the off-track. \u00a0 This colt switched to turf at beginning of the season and has earned win and second in three starts, the win came with a speed of 91, best of his career. \u00a0 He was overmatched in last and may find this field as a better fit<\/p>\n
5 ETBEA \u00a0648\/1-This mare has been racing local breds for almost her entire career but the speeds are subpar with the competition here. \u00a0 Finishes have not been poor and looks like this will continue in this race.<\/p>\n
6 \u00a0SEQUOTED \u00a07\/2-Consistent on the turf with 12 ITM finishes in 15 starts and includes 6 wins. \u00a0Won her only race on the wet track. \u00a0 Last four turf races have speeds in mid to upper 80 range which were in sprints. \u00a0Speeds have been better in longer distances. \u00a0Can’t rule out.<\/p>\n
7 \u00a0CAFE LISSE \u00a07\/1-A pacesetter who comes back to the turf for first time since last October. \u00a0 She’s been ITM in all three off-track starts with one win, however, these were all on the dirt. \u00a0 Speeds have been hard pressed to hit 90 range and looks unlikely to make that achievement now.<\/p>\n
8 \u00a0CMAJOR \u00a062\/1-Broke maiden in December and followed that up with a third and a second, both in low-end starter allowance events. \u00a0Speeds are slow compared to the competition and this one doesn’t look like it will make a major impact in the arce.<\/p>\n
9 \u00a0SEE THE SHOT \u00a02\/1-Colt has been hot winning last two races with 100 speed in each. \u00a0He has one race on an off-track setting and showed he could compete in those conditions with a win. \u00a0 Race sponsor Boudin2’s entrant has finished first or second in 8 of 11 turf races. \u00a0 Should be there again.<\/p>\n
10 \u00a0ART OF THE SAINT \u00a010\/1-Winner of last two with the last scoring a 91 speed but came on the dirt. \u00a0Has two races on off track, one was a win and the other was non-competitive fifth. \u00a0Back to turf for this one where she won with 85 speed back in February. \u00a0Speed numbers have been improving and has reasonable chance to hit top three spot.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Voodoo Prayer is tough in poor weather conditions and gets top choice.<\/p>\n
See The Shot’s last two are impressive, no reason to think this outing will be a poor one.<\/p>\n
LA Breds Too had nice run in last, can bounce back with another one.<\/p>\n
