Evangeline Downs Race 8 - 6F Stakes
MIRACLE ON CENTRAL (2) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has the class to figure prominently. RUNNER RUNNER (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 13 lengths when sixth in a 1106m contest at Fairgrounds five-and-a-half weeks ago. Faces an easier assignment so he is a major player. BABY ZONG (3) returns after 11 weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a seventh over 1408m at Delta Downs (Dirt). One of the leading chances. LIFE'S RIDE (5) returns after three-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 1509m at Delta Downs (Dirt). Rates highly on best form and a bright return wouldn't surprise.

Recent form sound. Last start ran on from midfield; 3rd of 11 at this track on April 3 over 1207m, 4 len behind Clearly Stardom carrying 56kg at $2.30. Before that 3rd in a small field at Fairgrounds on February 21 over 1207m, 4 len behind Urban Ruler carrying 56.5kg at $4.90. One of the prime contenders in a most suitable contest.

Five-year-old gelding by My Pal Charlie out of Deez Jitterbug who has taken a long time to make it to the track. Worth considering if there is a move for him.

Lining up for just third start. At very big odds at debut, ran last of 8 at Delta Downs on January 29 over 1308m, 20 len behind Blackberry Crown with 55kg at $67.40. Second-up ran last of 9 at Delta Downs on February 19 over 1609m, 37 len behind Robbiesstormangel carrying 52.5kg at $100.20. Will not find this easy.
