Good performance to run into 3rd beaten by 4 1/4L last time at Evangeline Downs and has a nice advantage with a good draw. Should progress and will be close.

Was $20.00 and didn't attack the line when 6th last run at this venue but was a debutant last start. Likely to be well placed early. Drawn nicely. Will be a difficult test.

Fresh from a spell. Jumped at $6.00 and tailed off to finish 7th last run at Oaklawn Park and will be down in distance. First race for a new trainer. Prefer a return to something a lot easier.

Odds of $14.00 and was well beaten when 4th last run around here but having second career run. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Will need to find a new peak.

Resuming after a break. Folded up in the straight when 6th last start at Sam Houston but having second race start. Should come to hand quickly. Coming back in distance. Pass.

Was $6.50 and passed some rivals in the late stages when 4th last time at the track but will be dropping in distance. Do not dismiss.
