Evangeline Downs Race 7 - 1m Stakes

WEEKENDSANDWHISKEY (5) built on a nice third two starts back at this track (Turf) with success over 1609m at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) eight weeks ago, getting home by 4 lengths. Stepping up a level this time but on current form he is right in contention. GORILLA TREK (1) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1609m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field. CURLIN'S GESTURE (3) has failed to figure of late. Two starts back was out of the money over 1811m at Churchill Downs Turf. Last time he failed to complete the course at Churchill Downs. Certainly deserves another chance. HEXCEL (6) has been in good form, stringing wins together before placing twice in a row, most recently when second over 1673m at Louisiana Downs (Dirt). Nicely placed to figure in the finish.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 55-day let-up. Last start scored a big 4 len win at Evangeline Downs May 23 over 1609m defeating Toogoodtosell carrying 56kg at $3.80. Before that 3rd of 12 at this track on April 23 over 1609m, 7 len behind Ambridge carrying 56kg at $8.80. No reason he cannot salute again.

Comes off a 55 day let-up. Last start ran on from midfield and won by 11 len at Evangeline Downs May 23 over 1609m defeating Struck Out with 55kg at $2.10. The run before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at Evangeline Downs on April 18 over 1408m, 8 len behind Coboch carrying 55kg at $3.10. This is going to test him.
