Evangeline Downs Race 4 - 1M Stakes
WHISKEY AND EASY (7) has been about the money with two minor placings from four starts this campaign, the latest a solid second over 1673m at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Should camp just off the leaders. Likely to feature. STEEL VENOM (9) started at $4.80 last time and ran below expectations, finishing tenth and beaten 29 lengths at Fairgrounds (Dirt) over 1710m. Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. IT'S A SECRET (3) scored last start at Delta Downs (Dirt) to make it two wins from three starts this campaign. Expected to be competitive again. SAUCY ARGUMENT (4) proved too strong two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1673m at Fairgrounds, beaten 6 lengths. In the mix.
