Evangeline Downs Race 6 - 5 1/2F Stakes
TOP PRIORITY (1) went forward last start over 1106m at this track (Dirt) and held on well for third, beaten 7 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. SOPHIE'S PAINTER (2) was an emphatic winner last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt) with today's rider T Pompell engaged. Record here is impressive with two wins from four starts. Leading contender. FATHER MARK (4) could only manage tenth on dirt over 1308m at this track two back then couldn't find the top-three on turf over 1006m at this track more recently. Top strike rate at the journey with two wins and two placings from four starts and should be involved in the finish. BET ON BOBBY (3) is yet to find the winners' list this time in work but has two placings from three runs this campaign, finishing one length away in second most recently over 1106m at Louisiana Downs. One of the contenders.
