SPECIAL RIP TIDE (1) is returning from a lay-off of 12 weeks. Finished fifth at Louisiana Downs (Dirt) over 1f31yards at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Kenneth Weeks. Sure to take some beating. LOUISIANA POWER (5) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2.5 lengths when seventh in a 1f80yards contest at this track a month ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. ANA MARIA (4) was in the firing line on the bend and finished third last start over 1f80yards at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.5 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. SUE NAHMI (9) raced on the speed from the outset and went to score by 0.3 lengths last time over 1f31yards at this track (Dirt). Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and three minor placings from seven starts. Deserves respect on her best figures.
