MASTER OF ARMS (3) is back from a lay-off of four months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 6f at Aqueduct (Dirt). Looks set to run well. BANDERA BLING (4) was never in contention when 10 lengths from the winner in ninth over 7½f at Louisiana Downs Turf last start, a less impressive effort than his eighth at Louisiana Downs Turf the run before. Likely improver with strong prospects. IZZY'S BABY BOY (6) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track (Dirt) over 1m1/4f after being prominent from the outset. Should camp just off the leaders. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. MO HOPE (7) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1m at Louisiana Downs Turf, beaten 3. 5 lengths. Well placed to play a part again.
