Evangeline Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Maiden Special Weight
LEOBOBANNA (3) First race appearance 3yo by Hard Aces for trainer Ronnie Averett. Jockey Vicente Del Cid rates highly aboard. Watch for a sign in the market. HOLD MY HAT (7) Improved late to finish 5th last run at Delta Downs but will be facing a significant drop in distance. Should race on the speed. Winning hope. KNIGHT'S VALOR (9) Ronnie Averett 3yo by Ocean Knight having first race start. Watch the betting. MARIACHI MAN (5) Flashed home late into 3rd beaten by nearly 8L last run at Delta Downs and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Down in distance. Will be competitive.
