Evangeline Downs Race 7 - Lafayette S. Stakes
OTTER CREEK (7) Back from a break. Strong effort to the line to win last start at Delta Downs. Vicente Del Cid is an advantage. Can get the job done. COOL COWBOY (1) Ran on hard when winning last start at Sam Houston and having second career run. Should be going forward early. Has drawn to do little work. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. BERGHEIM (4) Picked up nicely to win last start at Sam Houston and ideal trip as proven previously. One of the major players. AMERICAN VISION (2) Was rock solid when winning by 4 1/4L last time at Delta Downs and has a positive gate. Has run into the money frequently this preparation. Looks promising in this race.

Impressed last start at Sam Houston when settled outside the lead but proved too strong in a Maiden Special Weight race. Top chance.

Sat outside the leader and wanted it more when scoring by 0.5L in a Allowance race at Sam Houston. Won by a half length last time. Suited at this trip. Go well.
