Evangeline Downs Race 8 - 1M HCap
RISING INFLATION (6) was well fancied last start over 1609m at Listed level at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf) when fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths. Has an impressive strike rate at this distance with two wins from four runs and is expected to be in the finish. SWEET NOTE (8) was a strong winner last time over 1408m in Listed grade at Delta Downs (Dirt), scoring by 1.5 lengths to make it four on end. This is her optimum trip with two wins from four starts and looks a top chance. LEGAL EMPRESS (2) returned from a spell last start with a strong win by 1.5 lengths over 1710m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Will be better for that latest run and she is a major player again. NORAH G (4) was in the firing line on the corner and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1408m at Delta Downs (Dirt), beaten 0.3 lengths. Will strip fitter this time. Yet to miss the placings in four starts over this course and distance. Capable of another strong performance.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 42-day let-up. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.5 len at Delta Downs LR February 20 over 1408m defeating Moon Mist with 54.5kg at $4.30. The start before that won by 1.5 len at Delta Downs January 15 over 1609m defeating Nomoretanlines carrying 54.5kg at $1.20. Should be right in the finish.
