Evangeline Downs Race 3 - 1M 1/2F Stakes
BARRICADE (4) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing third over 1609m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) last time out. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Best form puts him right in this. DAN D'ORO (5) went fast early and went on to score by 2.75 lengths last time out over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. RIGHTEOUS STAR (10) raced below his best last time when seventh over 1609m at Turfway Park (Synthetic), beaten 14 lengths. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. JOSAN (7) improved last time out, finishing one length from the winner in second over 1609m at Fairgrounds. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 41 day let-up. At the latest run raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at Fairgrounds on March 12 over 1673m, 2 len behind Jr's Gift with 55kg at $3.50. The run before that 2nd in a small field at Fairgrounds on February 19 over 1673m, 0.1 len behind Battleoflexington with 55kg at $3.70. Not far away of late. Worth including.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 39-day let-up. Most recently 2nd of 8 at Fairgrounds on March 14 over 1609m, 1.0 len behind Duvee carrying 55kg at $18.80. The run before that eased back early on 4th in a small field at Fairgrounds on February 12 over 1207m, 5.5 len behind Hawija carrying 52.5kg at $20.20. Not far away last time. Worth plenty of thought.
