Evangeline Downs Race 5 - 7F Stakes
BRISA VELOZ (3) finished 4 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1006m at Evangeline Downs Turf, an improvement on her first-up fifth at Delta Downs the run before. Likely improver with strong prospects. NAPPING (5) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 1408m at this track (Dirt). In a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. KISSES FOR COOPER (2) is a consistent performer with eight minor placings from nine starts this prep. Turned in another good effort at her most recent run when second over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Meets a stronger field but she is good enough to figure in the finish. CONSTRUCTIVELY (6) is a five-start maiden who is well and truly overdue, finishing fourth at this track (Dirt) over 1408m last time out after being prominent at the turn. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.

At the latest run 4th of 9 at this track on April 11 over 1408m, 8 len behind Armaleese carrying 55kg at $2.90. The run before that second last of 7 at Fairgrounds on March 12 over 1673m, 12 len behind Killa Sally with 54.5kg at $17.20. Better than that recent plain performance suggests.
