Evangeline Downs Race 8 - 1M Stakes
WICKED AS HAGGART (3) has been kept fresh since an all-the-way win over 1609m at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Should be ridden forward again and is a top chance. SAME PLAY (7) got the prize two runs ago at Delta Downs. Couldn't follow that up last time out when third over 1673m at Fairgrounds, beaten 10 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Has the class to find the winners' list. ICE'M UP BOYS (6) showed little early speed then came with a powerful run to finish second last time out over 1673m at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Should feature in the finish again. CORPORAL PAUL (4) registered a strong win two runs ago then turned in a decent effort last time out when third over 1673m at Fairgrounds, beaten 2.25 lengths. Worth another chance.

Most recently ran last in a small field at Fairgrounds on March 9 over 1207m, 26 len behind Mister Banderas carrying 55kg at $14.10. The start before that led but faded 3rd of 7 at Delta Downs on February 19 over 1308m, 5 len behind Solidify with 53kg at $16.60. Will jump at pretty long odds and deservedly so.

First-up. Finished off last campaign second of 7 at Delta Downs January 30 over 1509m, 1.75 len behind Poppa Magic with 54.5kg at $10.30. First up last campaign second in a small field at Louisiana Downs September 10 over 1673m, 3 len behind Beach Blanket with 57kg at $3.10. Prefer to see how he returns.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 30 day let-up. Most recently scored a big 9 len win at Fairgrounds March 5 over 1609m defeating Inchhighatahundred with 55kg at $1.30. The race before that held ground to the line 3rd of 10 at Fairgrounds Turf on January 29 over 1609m, 0.4 len behind Coffee County carrying 55kg at $2.50. Great chance to win again.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 3rd of 9 at Fairgrounds on March 12 over 1673m, 2.25 len behind Global Honor carrying 55kg at $3.80. Before that won by 1.75 len at Fairgrounds Turf January 23 over 1509m defeating Single Shot carrying 55.5kg at $7.70. Should go well in this line up.

Recent form sound. Most recently 2nd in a small field at Fairgrounds on March 8 over 1673m, 1.5 len behind Our Majestic carrying 56kg at $3.60. The start before that won by a 0.1 len at Delta Downs February 13 over 1609m defeating Guns with 53kg at $1.70. Genuine chance on the back of the last effort.

Form hard to fault. Last start 2nd in a small field at Fairgrounds on March 7 over 1673m, 10 len behind Macho Beanie carrying 55kg at $6.30. Before that got back early 4th in a small field at Delta Downs on February 13 over 1408m, 4 len behind Fiesty Fist carrying 54.5kg at $4.60. Progressing well and a win is on the cards.

Recent form sound. Most recently 3rd in a small field at Fairgrounds on March 7 over 1673m, 10 len behind Macho Beanie with 52.5kg at $8.70. The race before that came from midfield and won by 3.5 len at Delta Downs January 10 over 1609m defeating Poppa Magic with 53kg at $3.80. Plenty to like about his prospects.
