Evangeline Downs Race 8 - 6F Stakes
MAKE ME A DEAL (8) is a four-start maiden who is knocking on the door, the latest effort a solid third at Fairgrounds (Dirt) over 1207m after being in contention on the turn. Has the ability to build on that encouraging effort last start. CAMPANARIO (9) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 16 lengths when sixth in a 1509m contest at Evangeline Downs Turf a week-and-a-half ago. This doesn't look as hard so he is set to turn things around. CATALINA GOLD (3) did little and finished 13 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1207m at Oaklawn Park last start, a less impressive effort than his fifth at Delta Downs the run before. Finds a nice race and can take this out. VELOCITY STORM (2) returns from a spell of nine weeks and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished fourth at Delta Downs (Dirt) over 1308m when first-up last time in work.

Lining up for just third start. At very long odds at debut, eased back early on 6th of 8 at Delta Downs on February 19 over 1006m, 12 len behind Stray Lightning with 53kg at $59. Second-up settled back and ran on when 6th of 11 at this track on April 3 over 1207m, 10 len behind Clearly Stardom carrying 55kg at $157.20. Looks one of the also-rans.

Second-up. First start settled back and ran on when 8th of 10 at Delta Downs on December 18 over 1006m, 18 len behind He's Exaggerating with 55kg at $13.60. Went for a spell before returning eased back early on 9th of 12 at this track on April 9 over 1006m, 6 len behind Deal Me Trips with 55.5kg at $10.80. Unlikely to threaten.

Was as a despised roughie at debut, 6th of 10 at this track on April 10 over 1408m, 18 len behind Tickle Me Unclemo with 55kg at $56.10. Cannot enthuse after the moderate debut effort.
