Opportunity abounds at the Fair Grounds in Saturday's Louisiana Champions Sprint Stakes. As the final race on the card, this field of 14 with two also-eligibles has a playability score of "8." Super Screener uses this metric to decipher which races could produce the most beneficial results, and 8 indicates a high payoff potential.

Tepid morning line favorite, No. 12 Bertie's Galaxy (7-2) is likely to be involved early. He's not the only one that wants a piece of the pace, which is part of why Screener is looking to beat him. 

Due to potential pace dynamics, Screener recommends using three horses prominently throughout all wagers on this race. All are 10-1 or greater on the morning line. The top long shot is 12-1. 

Wagering strategy for this race includes a mix of win bets, exactas, and trifectas. Bettors looking for more ticket options beyond this one race will also find detailed late pick 3 possibilities for Oaklawn's Saturday card. This includes both stakes races, as well as a competitive maiden special weight. 

In addition to Oaklawn and Fair Grounds, the Grade 1 Starlet at Los Alamitos is also covered. No. 3 Faiza (7-5) seems like a tough favorite, but Screener has an alternative value play.
