Evangeline Downs Race 1 - 1m Stakes

SOFT HANDS (7) is a five-start maiden who could only manage to finish sixth at his latest appearance over 1609m at Evangeline Downs (Dirt). Well placed on this occasion and gets his chance to break the ice. ONGOING CHALLENGE (6) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 1673m at Louisiana Downs Turf (Dirt). Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. AYDEN'S EDGE (3) is a 16-start maiden who finished fourth at his most recent outing over 1673m at Louisiana Downs Turf (Dirt). Expected to feature in the finish this time. JUS SURPRISE ME (5) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on February 22, finishing ninth and beaten 14 lengths over 1609m at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf). Now under the care of new trainer William Bret Calhoun. One to consider.

Most recently raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 9 at Evangeline Downs on June 27 over 1207m, 4 len behind Azteca Storm with 55kg at $3.10. The start before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 9 at Evangeline Downs on June 4 over 1006m, 3 len behind Charlie Gamer carrying 55kg at $5.30. Finds a few better today. Can't recommend.

Had two starts to date. At debut, 7th of 9 at Evangeline Downs on May 9 over 1207m, 10 len behind Slewssongofthenile carrying 55.5kg at $10.40. Last start came from midfield; 2nd of 12 at Evangeline Downs on June 19 over 1609m, 2.5 len behind Vineaux carrying 55kg at $16.20. Sure to be about the money.
