Evangeline Downs Race 1 - 1M Stakes
LIL CENTRAL (6) brings the best last-start figure here after a close 2nd at Evangeline Downs over 1609m, beaten 0.5L, and looks ready to peak. VON ERICH (2) was 2nd at this trip here two back and held 4th last time, 3L off the winner, so profiles as a key danger from a soft draw. TEARS FOR THEE (4) has placed in all three runs this prep, including 3rd at this track and distance when 3L behind Westbrook after racing handy. SEIZE THE WIN (11) was 3rd over 1609m at Louisiana Downs last start and has multiple mile placings to call on. YANKEE PRINCE (5) is consistent and was 3rd at this track and trip last start in claiming grade.
