Evangeline Downs Race 6 - 5F Stakes
MATZOH BALL (9) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 2.25 lengths over 1006m at Louisiana Downs (Turf). Goes up a rung or two but he is capable of running a bold race. TRIPPLE D RULLER (6) returns from a layoff of nine weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1106m at this track. Has found the right race. YORKTOWN PANTHER (3) was well held in the won by He's Late Again over 1408m at this track at his last appearance four months ago. Nicely placed and can feature on his best form. THE WICKED CAT (8) was a most impressive maiden winner over 1006m at this track (Dirt) last time out when resuming, scoring by 2 lengths. Re-unites with Joel Dominguez who was on board last start. Tougher assignment this time but is one of the main contenders.
