Evangeline Downs Race 1 - 4F Stakes

POWER OF THE SMILE (5) comes here off a break of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 796m at Louisiana Downs. Expect him to play a major role. BUCKLE UP BLUE (6) turned in a fine effort to win by 3 lengths at this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. JJ CARTER (2) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 3.5 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 796m. Worth including. MASONS JET BLACK (1) is having his first run since August 22. Goes well when fresh with three wins and five placings from 12 starts. Worth plenty of thought.
