Evangeline Downs Race 1 - 5F Stakes
OCEAN VOYAGER (1) was in the firing line on the corner and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1207m at Fairgrounds after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to figure in the finish. CLOSING AGENT (4) ran below expectations last time after being prominent on the turn at Fairgrounds (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 5.5 lengths starting at $3.40. Finds a tougher race but he has the talent to test this line-up. ZYDECO TYME (8) resumes from a spell of ten weeks. Could only manage to finish fifth at the latest run over 1006m at Delta Downs (Dirt). Leading player on best figures - bold showing expected. DIODORUS (5) is a three-year-old gelding on debut from the stable of Lee Thomas. By Apriority from Katiebmeister. Watch the market closely.

Last start raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 8 at Fairgrounds on March 22 over 1207m, 5.5 len behind Mr Brad's Cowboy carrying 56.5kg at $3.40. The run before that 3rd of 11 at Fairgrounds on March 7 over 1106m, 10 len behind Shot Gun Shack carrying 56.5kg at $20.70. Worth another chance.

Second-up. Comes off a 39-day let-up. First-up after nine months 9th of 11 at Fairgrounds on March 7 over 1106m, 18 len behind Shot Gun Shack carrying 56.5kg at $64.20. Previously second-up ran last of 8 at this track on June 28 over 1006m, 21 len behind He's Charlie carrying 52.5kg at $5.70. Unlikely to threaten.
