Evangeline Downs Race 2 - 5 1/2F Stakes
DIVINEINTERVENTION (3) had a bit on her rivals last time out, scoring an impressive 5 lengths maiden win over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Harry Hernandez was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the ride. Nicely placed to double the win tally. POPPY RED (4) lines up for the first time since February 20. Looking to emulate her win at Delta Downs to kick off the last campaign. Expect her to play a major role. DOLLY'S GUITAR (1) started at $7.30 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 16 lengths at Fairgrounds (Dirt) over 1207m. Has the ability to figure prominently. MIKA ELLA PIKA (5) showed good early dash and led throughout to score by 0.3 lengths last time out over 1207m at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Must be included.

Third-up today. Resuming made ground from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Fairgrounds on February 28 over 1207m, 1.3 len behind What's Love carrying 56.5kg at $6. Second run from a spell scored a big 5 len win at this track April 3 over 1106m defeating Perfect Tempo with 56kg at $2.30. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.
