Louisiana Downs - Race #5 - Post: 4:29pm - SO - 5.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $11,500 Class Rating: 87

Rating:

#7 HALFMOON REEF (ML=5/1)
#2 C'MON VE (ML=8/1)
#3 I'M LOOKING UP (ML=7/2)
#1 SIGUR ROS (ML=9/2)


HALFMOON REEF - That last race must not have been too hard on this gelding for him to be able to race again so quickly. Dropping down in class figure points from his Aug 8th race at Louisiana Downs. Based on that knowledge, I will give this one the edge. C'MON VE - Ran last time around the track against a much better field at Evangeline Downs. The move down the class ladder should suit him well. Gelding has shown some pace. This shorter trip should be better for him. The last fig of 83 is the top last race speed rating in the group. I'M LOOKING UP - Was in a non-classified race race at Evangeline Downs last time out. That race had an Equibase class figure of 99 and he is moving down in today's race. A certain strong challenger. Didn't do well last out, but I do see two starts back when racing on the dirt, a whole different horse. Speed rating of 92 should put this one in the money. SIGUR ROS - Last raced at Lone Star Park in a race with a class number of 94. Dropping significantly in class figure today puts him in a solid position today.

Vulnerable Contenders: #5 D TWO (ML=5/2), #4 ROCK N SAKE (ML=9/2),

D TWO - Hasn't raced or had any drills since July 24th. Not much value on this chalk horse. ROCK N SAKE - Hard to put your dough on this speed merchant. Too much early zip in the event. Could be tough for this horse to beat this field off of that last speed rating. Improbable to improve enough to run a figure close enough to today's class rating, so put him on the possibly overvalued contestants list.

GUEST COMMENTARY: Winston - SIGUR ROS - Don't look at the finish position last time out, but take a look at how many lengths back he was from the winner. Should improve enough to grab the brass ring this time out.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:	#7 HALFMOON REEF to win at post-time odds of 5/1 or better
EXACTA WAGERS:	Box [2,7]
TRIFECTA WAGERS:	Skip

Race 1 - Claiming - 6.0f on the Dirt. Purse: $15435 Class Rating: 66

FOR FILLIES AND MARES THREE YEARS OLD AND UPWARD WHICH HAVE NOT WON A RACE IN 2021 OR WHICH HAVE NEVER WON FOUR RACES. THREE YEAR OLDS, 118 LBS.; OLDER, 122 LBS. CLAIMING PRICE $4,500, IF FOR $4,000, ALLOWED 2 LBS.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 4 OUR PETUNIA 7/2
# 5 BLONDE ATTITUDE 3/1
# 1 SUBZERO PLUS 5/2

OUR PETUNIA looks formidable to best this field. She has a quite good distance/surface win record - 3 for 14. Must be given consideration - I like the figs from the last competition. BLONDE ATTITUDE - Posted a solid speed rating in the last race. Can run another good one in this race. Is a very strong contender based on figures posted as of late under today's conditions. SUBZERO PLUS - Her earnings per start in dirt sprint races alone makes you take a look at her. The average Equibase class figure of 61 makes this horse tough to beat.

Race 3 - Maiden Special Weight - 5.5f on the Dirt. Purse: $50000 Class Rating: 78

OUTER TURF FOR MAIDENS, TWO YEARS OLD. WEIGHT, 119 LBS.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 5 MAGNOLIA MIDNIGHT 4/1
# 3 LEOVILLE 7/2
# 1 HEAVENLY TRIP 9/5

I think MAGNOLIA MIDNIGHT is a strong choice. Decent try today with second time Lasix. Has recorded sound speed figs in dirt sprint races in the past. This colt with Hernandez in the irons makes him a solid contender. LEOVILLE - This selection will feel the med change - with second time Lasix today. Should definitely be given consideration here if only for the respectable speed rating earned in the last contest. HEAVENLY TRIP - Is a definite contender - given the 72 Equibase Speed Fig from his most recent race. He has competitive class ratings, averaging 87, and has to be carefully examined for this race.

Penn National - Race #6 - Post: 8:16pm - Maiden Claiming - 8.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $15,400 Class Rating: 57

Rating:

#3 WAVE JUMPER (ML=10/1)
#5 PAOLLA KISSES (ML=5/2)


WAVE JUMPER - Atop this entrant on July 14th and Conner is back again in the irons this race. PAOLLA KISSES - Was in a $25,000 Maiden Claiming race at Delaware Park last race out. That race had a class number of 80 and she is moving down right here. A certain win candidate. Filly looks like the lone speed here. She may turn the race into a procession. Has a decent chance to break maiden going over to the main track today. Just look at her last speed figure, 70. That one looks good in this field.

Vulnerable Contenders: #1 MEEMOO (ML=2/1), #2 MIRACLES SUNSHINE (ML=7/2), #7 ELF'S TUNE (ML=4/1),

MEEMOO - The chalk horse is vulnerable here with the lack of works. Finished second in her most recent effort with a pedestrian speed figure. When I look at today's Equibase class figure, it would take an improved performance to prove victorious after that in this group. MIRACLES SUNSHINE - Will probably be stranded with way too much to do in the stretch. This filly registered a speed fig in her last event which probably isn't good enough in today's event.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:	Go with #3 WAVE JUMPER on top if we're getting at least 5/2 odds
EXACTA WAGERS:	Box [3,5]
TRIFECTA WAGERS:	None
SUPERFECTA WAGERS:	Pass
