Evangeline Downs Race 7 - 7 1/2F Stakes
FAKE SMART (4) brings the best exposed recent form at the track, twice placed here in April including 3rd over 1408m in an Allowance Optional Claiming, and now adds blinkers. FILM AT ELEVEN (2) won a Delta Downs 1609m Maiden Special Weight in February and was 4th here over 1408m last month, suggesting he can hold a spot at this level. TICKLE ME UNCLEMO (1) led throughout to win a 1408m Maiden Special Weight here on April 10 and draws the rail. JUNGLE LAW (7) comes off a dominant 1006m Maiden Claiming win here two weeks ago but stretches sharply in trip.
