Evangeline Downs Race 3 - 1M 1/2F Stakes
ROYAL IRISH (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 1.75 lengths when fourth in a 1710m contest at Oaklawn Park four weeks ago. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. FATGUYINLITTLECOAT (2) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 1207m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Finds the right race this time and can run another big race. TOMMIE'S TRUE (7) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 1408m at Delta Downs (Dirt). One of the leading chances. ZAMPINO (6) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks and looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1308m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt). Taking on a longer trip to kick off this prep. Rates highly on best form and a bright return wouldn't surprise.

Had two starts to date. At very big odds at debut, second last of 9 at Fairgrounds on March 16 over 1207m, 19 len behind General Graham with 54.5kg at $55.30. Second-up made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Evangeline Downs on April 4 over 1609m, 5 len behind Clearly Artemus with 55kg at $19.40. Will struggle to compete against the top handful.
