Evangeline Downs Race 3 - 6f Stakes
WIZARD OF YESTER (4) is resuming from a spell of nine weeks and having his first run for the Edith A Mojica yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at Louisiana Downs (Dirt) over 1006m. Makes plenty of appeal in the new surrounds. MIDNIGHT MISCHIEF (6) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when fifth over 1408m at this track, beaten 12 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can get the job done. ONE DEAL (5) last appeared a week-and-a-half ago over 1609m at Lone Star Park when he finished ninth. This is his first run for the Cesar Govea stable. Comes here with definite top-three claims. EXPRESS LINE (1) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1308m at this track (Dirt), beaten 11 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run.

Second-up. First-up after four months 3rd of 11 at this track on June 26 over 1308m, 11 len behind Flyin Private carrying 54kg at $17.10. Previously second-up ran second last of 7 at Fairgrounds on February 26 over 1207m, 12 len behind Purple Heart carrying 55.5kg at $16. Should progress from that first-up run.
