Evangeline Downs Race 5 - 1M Stakes
SOUL COAXING (4) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track (Dirt) over 1408m after being in the firing line all the way. Sits handy in the run. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. LUNI SIMA (8) built on a nice second two starts back at this track (Dirt) with a win over 1408m at this track (Dirt) four weeks ago, getting home by 0.8 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. BIGFOOT SIGHTING (1) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 1609m at this track, beaten 10 lengths. Won't find this as tough so he is a major player. NORTHERNREFLECTION (6) was beaten 5 lengths into fourth in a 1609m contest at this track two weeks ago. Better than recent efforts suggest.

At the latest run 5th of 7 at this track on May 1 over 1609m, 18 len behind Freddie By A Nose with 55kg at $72.80. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.5 len at this track April 15 over 1609m defeating Barbacoa with 53.5kg at $8.90. Others make more appeal.

Form hard to fault. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 10 at this track on April 18 over 1408m, 6 len behind Luni Sima with 55.5kg at $2.30. The start before that led but faded 2nd of 8 at Fairgrounds on March 14 over 1673m, 2.5 len behind Battleoflexington carrying 56kg at $2.80. Rates highly. Big chance.

Second-up. First-up after two months eased back early on 8th of 12 at this track on April 15 over 1207m, 7 len behind Baron Of The Nile with 55.5kg at $15.90.
