Evangeline Downs Race 5 - 5F Stakes
KEY MAN (3) appeals as the leading chance, having placed two starts back and generally holding his form in similar company. CHICANERY (5) comes off a last-start third at Fair Grounds and adds blinkers, which could sharpen his performance. MOTEL PATEL (8) resumes after a break and has placed multiple times in a longer career, while GREYSTAR (4) has been around the mark at this level but needs to lift on recent efforts. Key Man (3) and Chicanery (5) look the main hopes in a competitive maiden.
