Evangeline Downs Race 3 - 5F Stakes
DEAL OF FAITH (4) is back after a break of ten weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1207m at Fairgrounds. Comes here with definite claims. DEAL ME TRIPS (8) scored an overdue maiden win last time out, getting home by one length over 1006m at this track (Dirt). Tricky draw to overcome but he cannot be discounted. BEARCAT (1) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on March 6, finishing sixth and beaten 7 lengths over 1207m at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Sure to make his presence felt. ALL LAKE (2) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 31 lengths away in 12th over 1408m at this track. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.

Third-up today. Resuming 9th of 11 at Fairgrounds on March 7 over 1106m, 18 len behind Shot Gun Shack carrying 56.5kg at $64.20. Second-up raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a nose at this track April 15 over 1006m defeating Chief Dust Maker with 56kg at $4.30. Would be better placed in something easier.
