Evangeline Downs Race 1 - 6 1/2F Stakes
DIRTY DEAL (4) brings the best recent figure here after a closing 3rd at Evangeline Downs over 1207m, and the drop back to this trip with blinkers looks suitable. FORTYSVENFORTHEWIN (8) stuck on for 4th in the same 1207m race, beaten 8L, and can hold a handy spot again. LIFE'S RIDE (9) was 3rd over 1408m here last start and has been around the mark at this level. COZZINO (12) was 5th in that 1207m reference and maps to be in touch. JUAN OF THOSE DAYS (3) wasn’t far away when 4th over 1006m on debut and gets blinkers up in distance.

Back from a 29-day break after drawing barrier 1 and finishing 12th of 12 at Evangeline Downs over 1207m on 17 Apr, beaten 23.3L on FT with 55kg. Best recent effort was 5th of 10 at Delta Downs over 1308m on 21 Feb, beaten 4.3L at $81 after racing handy. Drops 2.5kg to 52.5kg and again draws the rail for Jamison Mudd for Charles Ray Celestine. Needs to lift but has place claims with a soft run from the inside.
