Evangeline Downs Race 8 - 5 1/2f Hcap
STAR OF BETHLEHEM (5) Went to the front and never looked back to win last run at this venue but testing ability against stronger contenders. Has shown early pace in races to date. Among better hopes. MAX ATTACK (8) Won easily by a margin of 5 1/2L last start at this track but competing at a higher class. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Will be around the mark at odds. HES STEELIN MYLADY (3) Resuming. Blitzed its rivals when winning by 3 1/2L last time at Horseshoe Indianapolis and having second career run. Aaron M West stable are having a great run of late. Underrated. ARMY RUNNING BAYOU (6) Was eating up the ground late when winning last time around here and having second race start. Jockey Cj J Mcmahon and trainer Alan Klanfer work well together. Needs some luck and is an each way suggestion.

Ray Robbins trained 2yo by El Deal having first race start and has minimal work to do from the gate. Timothy Thornton is an advantage. Market as guide.

Claimed late when 2nd last start here and has a good draw. Has not missed the placings this preparation in 2 attempts but facing a stronger class. A demanding task.

Racing fresh after a break. Found another gear when winning by a margin of 3 1/2L last time at Horseshoe Indianapolis and was on debut last time. Will go close.

Put together a strong on-speed performance when 3rd last run at this track but facing a stronger group of contenders. Need a lot of luck to be close to winning this.

Dictated the tempo to win last run at this venue but up against a more competitive field. Displays good tactical speed. Recent form of Jr Patrick Devereux is strong. Good chance of taking this out.

Dashed home to win last time at the track and fitter for debut run. Jockey Cj J Mcmahon and trainer Alan Klanfer have a solid working relationship. Value runner at good odds.

Rocketed home when winning last time at this track and was a debutant last start. Has a nice turn of foot. One for your trifecta.

Was a comprehensive winner by 5 1/2L last start here but stepping up to a higher level. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Should go close.
