Evangeline Downs Race 7 - 6F Stakes
WAR MULE (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1006m at Sam Houston Park Turf, beaten 14 lengths. Fitter so expect a better run this time. THUNDERHAWK (5) last appeared seven weeks ago over 1207m at Fairgrounds when he finished fourth. This is his first run for the Juan M Cano stable. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. FAKE SMART (7) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time when he was in the firing line all the way over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. ROCKETEIGHTYEIGHT (4) progressed nicely last time out to finish just one length from the winner in second over 1006m at this track. Best efforts measure up so capable of another big run.
