Louisiana Downs Race 1

4F Stakes

Stake: $23,166

JESS CHECK MOONIN (1) was an effortless winner last time over 796m at Evangeline Downs (Dirt), scoring by 5 lengths. Stick with him. JESS CHEER FOR ME (4) is back from a spell of five-and-a-half months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 704m at Delta Downs (Dirt). Should be hard to stop. LOUIE B QUICK (7) finished third two runs back at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 3 lengths as favourite over 796m at this track (Dirt). Federico Vargas scored on him last time and retains the ride. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is good enough to play a major role. BUCKLE UP BLUE (6) lines up on the back of a 3 length fourth over 796m at Evangeline Downs. Reunites with Ubaldo Luna who knows him well with three wins in partnership. One of the main contenders.
