ENCINO PRIDE (5) is a eight-start maiden who wasn't far away last time when second over 1f31yards at this track (Dirt) on January 24. Should be poised just off the lead. Will play a major role. BLUE LOUISINA FIRE (2) finished 1.75 lengths from the winner in fifth last start over 1f at Evangeline Downs, an improvement on her ninth at Evangeline Downs the run before. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. LIL BABY BOY (1) is a four-start maiden who resumed from a lay-off last start and was beaten 2.25 lengths when fifth over 1f at this track (Dirt). Chance to break his maiden status with that run under his belt. TG MOUNT COUP (9) is yet to break through after nine starts but not far off a win. Placed in a then missed the frame but was thereabouts last time over 1f at this track (Dirt). This looks a nice race for him.
