Evangeline Downs Race 8 - 6f Stakes
DIRTY DEAL (7) is a 11-start maiden who is knocking on the door, the latest effort a solid second at this track (Dirt) over 1308m after being in the firing line on the turn. Big chance to open his account. FRUIT BASKET (6) improved last start to finish third over 1006m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Going up a level this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. ONE GRAND SLAM (5) is a four-year-old gelding who is still a maiden after five starts but has been in the placings three times. Never a threat when resuming last start over 1207m at Louisiana Downs (Dirt), finishing 8 lengths from the winner in third. Has a decent record at this trip with three minor placings from four tries and is sure to be thereabouts. BLUE KING (10) made progress last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in third over 1308m at this track. Placed to advantage so anticipating another big run.
