Louisiana Downs Race 4 - 5 1/2f Hcap
NOLA QUEEN (1) Was eating up the ground late to win last start at Evangeline Downs and has drawn to do little work. On a winning streak the last 2 runs. Key player. BAR CAR (4) Led and controlled the pace to win by a margin of almost 7L last start at this track and putting a tidy record together so far. Has the ability to take this out. ROMANTIC RUMOR (5) Ran on hard when winning last run at Evangeline Downs and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Shows good early pace. Racing against tougher rivals. Will give a big sight. CAJUN CAVIAR (2) Romped home to win last time at Evangeline Downs and having second career run. Should race on the speed. Drawn nicely. Facing stiffer opposition. Worth an investment.

Ran over the top of them when winning last time at Evangeline Downs and fitter for debut run. Displays good tactical speed. Has a good draw. Up against stronger competition. Betting is the best guide.

At $13.00 lost ground in the run home when 8th last time at Evangeline Downs and taking on stronger rivals. Jockey Rey Williams and trainer Robertino Diodoro link up well. Others are better.

Controlled the pace when winning by a margin of close to 7L last start at the track and solid career start. Should muster plenty of early toe. Serious contender.

Competitive effort when 2nd last time at Evangeline Downs and good career start. Has early speed and positions nicely. In fine form this campaign but matched against tougher rivals. Watch for a sign in the market.

Although getting tired late still placed 2nd last start at Evangeline Downs but competing at a higher class. Overlook from a betting angle.

Started at $9.50 and mediocre display when 9th last start at Evangeline Downs and up against a higher level of opposition. Entitled to be big odds.

Dashed home to win last time at Evangeline Downs and having second race start. Has the necessary speed to mitigate the wide draw. Stepping up to a higher level. Has some claims.
