Evangeline Downs Race 8 - 5 1/2f Hcap
NOLA QUEEN (1) Reeled them in when winning last time here and can save some energy from the barrier. Should jump out and bowl along. Jockey Timothy Thornton rates highly. Deserves consideration. MY HINTOF PLATINUM (5) Won easily by 4 3/4L last time around here but racing against tougher rivals. Knockout chance in this. COPPER KEY (3) Led and controlled the pace when winning by a margin of 6L last start at this track but stepping up to a higher level. Worth an each way bet in this. LOUISIANA SIS (8) Fresh today. Ran on hard when winning last run here and having second career run. Has plenty of early speed. Has some strong credentials in this race.

Bold effort when winning last time here and drawn the rails. Has early speed and positions nicely. Placed at every start this campaign. Good potential.

Was rock solid when winning by a margin of 3 1/2L last start at this venue and drawn nicely. Jansen Melancon and Robertino Diodoro command respect as a pairing. Needs to improve.

Controlled the pace to win by a margin of 6L last start at this venue but racing in stronger company. Has some claims.

Romped home to win last run at Lone Star Park and fitter for debut run. Will be motoring home late. Could feature here.

Shot away to win by 4 3/4L last time around here but competing at a higher grade. Betting is the best guide.

Felt the pinch late when 2nd last time at this track. Should muster plenty of early toe. Has run into the placings all attempts this campaign. Suggest watching.

Went to the front and never looked back to win by a margin of 2 1/2L last run at this track and having second race start. Place claims at best.

Resuming after a spell. Finished with purpose when winning last run at the track and was on debut last time. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Could be in the mix.

Flashed home late into 2nd beaten by 4 3/4L last start here but up against a more competitive field. Been in the placegetters each attempt this campaign. Can't entertain a bet.
