Evangeline Downs Race 1 - 4 1/2f Stakes
NOLA QUEEN (8) will find this a little easier than her second on debut two weeks ago, beaten 2.5 lengths at the end of 905m at this track (Dirt). Sure to take a lot from that hitout so she shouldn't be a maiden for long. COPY THIS (2) is a two-year-old filly by Known Agenda out of Seattles Best Copy set to debut for the Robertino Diodoro stable. Serious contender, particularly if solid in the market. KORNER STOMP (4) ran well on debut last start to finish second over 905m at this track (Dirt) in a tougher race. Likely improver so another top-three finish is on the cards. COPPER KEY (6) is on debut. By By My Standards and hails from the Gary Scherer stable. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves.

Was at long odds at debut, got back early 3rd in a small field at this track on June 6 over 905m, 10 len behind Passion Strike carrying 52kg at $29.10. Encouraging effort on debut but this might be too tough.
