Evangeline Downs Race 5 - 5F Stakes
CHIEF DUST MAKER (7) appeals on the drop back to 5f after a narrow 2nd over 1006m at Evangeline on Apr 15, then raced on speed before fading to 4th in the slop on May 1. BOLT'S TREASURE (2) brings the strongest depth of placings with 2nd and 3rd at Oaklawn over 1207m earlier this year and could be suited by the shorter trip with blinkers on. MIDNIGHT MISCHIEF (4) was 3rd here over 1408m on Apr 18 and cuts back in distance with blinkers, while FRUIT BASKET (5) stuck on for 4th here over 1207m from a wide gate and drops in trip. Leading chances: Chief Dust Maker (7), Bolt's Treasure (2), Midnight Mischief (4), Fruit Basket (5).
