Evangeline Downs Race 8 - 7F Stakes
DIRTY STRAIGHT UP (12) accounted for a maiden field over 1207m at Fairgrounds (Dirt) last start, finishing 2 lengths ahead of the nearest rival. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Capable of making it two on the trot. VITRUVIUS (2) finished fourth last time out over 1710m at Fairgrounds, beaten 26 lengths. Leading contender. CHARIOT (1) finished 5 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1207m at Fairgrounds a month ago. Steps up in distance today. Among the chances. MISDEAL (7) finished midfield at his first run back from a spell last start, beaten 9 lengths over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Should park just off the speed. Not to be discounted.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 33-day let-up. Last start got back early 4th in a small field at Fairgrounds in LR on March 22 over 1710m, 26 len behind Our Moneyman carrying 55.5kg at $10.60. Before that came from midfield and won by a nose at Fairgrounds March 8 over 1006m defeating Cajun Coaster carrying 53kg at $3.10. Can atone for a modest effort last time.

Recent form sound. Returns from a 34-day let-up. At the latest run came from midfield and won by 2 len at Fairgrounds March 21 over 1207m defeating Slewssongofthenile with 54.5kg at $1.40. The run before that 2nd of 10 at Fairgrounds on February 17 over 1207m, nose behind A Hint Of Scandel carrying 54.5kg at $5.60. Confidence high so a repeat performance is on the cards.
