Evangeline Downs Race 5 - 5F Stakes
DOUBLE SALTY (8) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when third at Delta Downs (Dirt) over 1006m, beaten 0.9 lengths. Cherry-ripe now. Is yet to miss the frame from three starts this campaign, including a win. Sure to go very well. NINTH WARD BOBBY O (6) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 3.5 lengths over 1308m at Delta Downs (Dirt). Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and he should be in the finish again. DOUBLE DEALS (7) fought on well for third last start over 1207m at Fairgrounds (Dirt), making it two minor placings in a row. Expected to run well again. IMPERIAL BANDIT (2) lines up on the back of a 19 length eighth over 1207m at Fairgrounds. Ticks all the right boxes.

Comes here off a 48-day let-up. Last start won by 3.5 len at Delta Downs February 19 over 1308m defeating Ray Mefasolateedoe carrying 52.5kg at $5.10. The start before that 5th of 8 at Delta Downs on January 30 over 1006m, 10 len behind Double Salty with 55kg at $2.30. Big chance again now that the penny has dropped.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 46 day let-up. Most recently 3rd in a small field at Delta Downs on February 21 over 1006m, 0.9 len behind Awesome Hawaiian carrying 55kg at $3.50. Before that won by 3 len at Delta Downs January 30 over 1006m defeating Crimson Red Road carrying 55kg at $7.50. Doesn't need to improve much to salute.
