Evangeline Downs Race 8 - 1m Hcap
MIDNIGHT PASSION (2) Made every post a winner to win by 5L last run around here and has a positive barrier. Keeping a perfect win record the last 2 attempts. Expected to fight out the finish. THRILL SEEKER (5) Couldn't maintain the pace when 6th last run at the track. Should bounce back but facing stiffer opposition. Will be positive in the run early. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . LOST ART (1) Picked up nicely to win last time at Louisiana Downs and has minimal work to do from the alley. Has shown early pace in races to date. Solid career start. Could work into placings. WALKNTO NEWORLEANS (3) Didn't attack the line when 5th last start at this track. Looking for an improved run and showing consistent performance in races. Very competitive this campaign. Keep an eye on the market for any leads.

Displayed a good turn of foot when winning last time at Louisiana Downs and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Should come to hand quickly. Will need to elevate.

Dictated the tempo when winning by 5L last run here and can find a nice position from the draw. Unbeaten last 2 attempts and continuing to impress with each race. Holds a major chance.

Started at $9.00 and was well beaten when 5th last start at this venue. Looking for an improved run and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Needs a lot of luck in this race.

Gave a strong sight when 3rd last start at this track but racing in stronger company. Has early speed and positions nicely. Prefer in a much weaker race.

Was $3.75 and didn't threaten when 6th last run around here. Should bounce back but challenged by more formidable competitors. Has plenty of early speed. Timothy Thornton is a bonus. Represents value in this race.

Amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by 5L last time around here but competing at a higher grade. In good racing form since resuming from a break. Will be tested in this.
