Evangeline Downs Race 3 - 5F Stakes
DOC B RANEY (11) resumes after a spell and brings the best overall placing profile, including a second at this track last year. SHOULDABEENACOWBOY (2) has recent form around this trip and was runner-up two starts back. ONE SURE HIT (10) placed at Delta Downs two runs ago and looks suited dropping back to this grade. CLOSING WITH HONOR (3) has been around the mark with two fourths from his last three starts. These four shape as the main hopes in a moderate maiden.

Three-year-old gelding by Ocean Knight out of Cajun Martini, drawn barrier 1 for Edward Santiago and Edith A. Mojica. No race experience to date. Debuts from the inside gate and is one to monitor for any market support. Can feature with the right run.

Comes off an 8th of 9 at Fair Grounds over 1207m on 8 Mar, beaten 8L at $16. Finished 6th and 9th in two prior runs, all in Maiden Claiming grade. Drops back in trip and gets blinkers on from barrier 4. Needs to lift but not without hope.
