Evangeline Downs Race 8 - 6f Stakes
DYNAMITE TONIGHT (6) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when fifth, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 1006m at Evangeline Downs Turf (Turf). Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. DECKHAND (2) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1207m at Louisiana Downs (Dirt) five-and-a-half weeks ago. Has plenty of upside and can win again. MAXIMUS AMAR (3) impressed when successful on debut over 1207m at this track (Dirt) three weeks ago. Has upside and is well placed to feature again. DOUBLE DEALS (7) lines up for the first time since April 24. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1308m at Delta Downs. Has found the right race and is worth including.
