Evangeline Downs Race 7 - 5F Stakes
ARTEMIS SPARKLES (5) is yet to break through in five runs. Finished tenth at her last appearance over 1207m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) on April 30. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. KINGSTON LADY (2) missed the frame on debut then improved last time when 3.5 lengths away in second over 1207m at Louisiana Downs (Dirt). Close to a win and should go well. DRAGON NAVY (7) is a three-year-old filly who is having her first run for the Sam B Jr David barn. Hasn't raced since finishing seventh at Turfway Park (Synthetic) four-and-a-half months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but looks nicely placed. Leading prospect. MADORIA (1) is fresh from a spell of seven months and did hit the frame when last resuming at Delta Downs (Dirt) over 1006m. In a different yard now.
