Evangeline Downs Race 8 - 1m Hcap
MIDNIGHT PASSION (2) is a progressive type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Has scored at her last two, the latest over 1408m at Listed level at this track (Dirt) winning by 5 lengths. Was a winner at only try at the journey and looks a key chance again. LITEUPTHENITE (6) is coming off a last-start second, beaten 5 lengths, over 1408m at this track. Likely to feature. WHISPER ME A SMILE (4) went forward when resuming last start over 1408m in stakes class at this track (Dirt) and held on well for third, beaten 5.5 lengths. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is capable of testing her rivals. THRILL SEEKER (5) started at $2 last time but could only manage sixth, beaten 11 lengths, at this track over 1408m. Should camp just off the leaders. Not to be discounted.

Comes off a 36 day let-up. Most recently second last in a small field at this track in LR on May 1 over 1408m, 8 len behind Midnight Passion with 53.5kg at $12.30. Before that scored a big 5 len win at Fairgrounds March 9 over 1207m defeating Justlikelouise with 54kg at $5.60. Will need plenty of improvement to feature.
