Evangeline Downs Race 9 - 5F Stakes
BAYOU TIME (8) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at Fairgrounds (Dirt) over 1207m after being in the firing line all the way. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. CHIEF DUST MAKER (5) ran well on debut last start to finish second over 1006m at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) in a tougher race. Promising type with improvement to come so he is worth following up. LAWLESS WAYS (7) stepped out on his debut over 1308m at Turfway Park (Synthetic) two months ago and finished eighth, beaten 17 lengths. Better for that run and can improve sharply. JUNGLE LAW (3) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on July 11, finishing fourth and beaten 5.5 lengths over 1609m at Evangeline Downs (Dirt). Has found the right race and is worth including.

Is first-up after a break of ten months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last preparation fourth of 9 at Evangeline Downs July 11 over 1609m, 5.5 len behind Frosty Blue with 56kg at $5.60. Previously first up; seventh of 9 at this track May 24 over 1006m, 7 len behind Donegal Freedom carrying 56kg at $3.80. Certainly one to consider.

Jumped at big odds at debut, ran on from midfield; 2nd of 8 at Evangeline Downs on April 15 over 1006m, nose behind Roll On Luke with 52.5kg at $39.10. Sure to take a lot from that experience and makes plenty of appeal.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 50-day let-up. At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at Fairgrounds on March 12 over 1207m, 3.5 len behind Classical Ocean with 56.5kg at $3. Before that held ground to the line 3rd of 8 at Fairgrounds on January 23 over 1207m, 7 len behind Romeo Spikes carrying 56.5kg at $5.60. Well placed to take this out.
