Evangeline Downs Race 2 - 6 1/2f Stakes

JAMESY'S EMPIRE (6) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track (Dirt) over 1207m after being in contention all the way. Will be handy in running despite the tricky draw. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SEIZETHEDAYDUDE (4) scored by 4 lengths last time out over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Form here strong boasting two wins from four starts. Bold showing expected. DADDY'S CODE (1) was in contention on the turn and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1408m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. HIGHSTAKES HUSTLER (5) finished fourth last time out over 1408m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Has a decent record at this venue with a win and two minor placings from six starts. This sets up nicely.
