Evangeline Downs Race 5 - 5f Stakes
ZAMPINO (7) booted up from the inside draw to race on the speed only to be claimed late and finish 8 lengths away in fifth last start over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Likely to measure up. FLAWLESS BEAST (4) was close to a maiden win before a seven months break, finishing off with a placing over 1106m at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Expect he has come on over the break. Can launch this campaign in positive style. PERICLES (6) is on debut for the Lee Thomas stable. Three-year-old gelding by Apriority from Lovely Charlie. Keep a close eye out for a positive market move. KAMA CAN (2) faced the starter for the first time and finished fifth last start at this track (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten 15 lengths. With the blinkers added he is one to watch at the second run back.
