HELLO KITTY LOU makes second start off claim and returns to level where she ran wide, led and tired to fourth. Broke maiden by 14 lengths as the favorite from the rail over this course three back. HALF THEIRS never out of money in three starts, rallied to break maiden in last and has decent breeze for this. CRYPTO GOOD win at first asking after wide trip from outside post. Should be in mix.

OSI POSSE was third in grass debut at shorter, then returned to win turf stakes at Louisiana Downs four starts ago. Trip two back was a miss by three-quarters at wire to settle for fourth. Should be coming at nice price. BEVERLY BELLE beat one in dirt stakes after drawing off to win by more than four lengths at today’s distance and level. BURNING CREOLE won grass allowance two back, then tried today’s conditions and closed to miss by a head.

LOST HIGHWAY only off board once in six starts and has tried grass, and a route in last where he tired late for third. Barn 15% when going route to sprint. ALL ABOUT INTEREST was knocking on door to graduate back in May and June, and has been away since. Work pattern looks like he’s ready for barn that is successful off a layoff. M DICTATION tired in debut at Hollywood, then bumped twice in last and came on for second as the chalk.

DISTINCT SPARKLE With Distinction filly makes third start off layoff and gets beneficial rider switch for turf debut after getting washed off in last two attempts. CRAZY LUCKY tired to third in off the turf start, and makes turf debut and will try to take them all the way here. FAIRNESS Curlin filly showed little in route, then beat three to wire in off the turf start while debuting with Lasix. Debuts on grass, an 11% move with this barn.

Mardi Gras Handicap

BEAT THE BLUES last seen finishing third in Grade 2 at Saratoga in August, and shows strong work pattern for 29% first off layoff barn. MY MY MY MARIA in search of fifth straight victory after stomping her way through conditions. Rallied to win stakes debut in last, and faces a tougher group here, but has shown versatility and can run with these. IRE enters this off open claim victory, but has run well at this level in the past, and draws leading rider to saddle.

LITTLEBITSPIRIT finished second and third twice in last three at this level, and looks to best a weak field. ST MARIE SLAUGHTER makes third career start and can build off last, which was wide trip where she was disqualified and placed third. IT’S NOT FAIR ran three wide from outside post at long odds, and closed well to beat seven to the wire. Repeat of that will put in mix here.
