Evangeline Downs Race 8 - 1M Stakes

RED ROAD (8) lines up for the first time since March 16. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1609m at Fairgrounds Turf. Sure to make his presence felt. GORILLA TREK (3) finished out of the money two starts back then he got a long way back and was beaten 14 lengths when fifth over 1609m at Evangeline Downs two weeks ago. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. GRAND ACADEMIC (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 lengths into eighth after being prominent at the bend. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. COFFEE COUNTY (4) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1609m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
