Evangeline Downs Race 8 - 5f Stakes
SHE'S A LIVE WIRE (2) is racing well, scoring two back at this track (Turf) before finishing 0.8 lengths from the winner in second last time over 1006m at this track (Turf). Harry Hernandez who has two wins when partnering stays on. Sure to run well. SNAZZY GAL (6) bounced back last start and scored by 1.3 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner as public elect over 1006m at this track (Turf). Looks well placed so expect another big run. BET TOWINIT (5) is building towards a win with placings at her last two runs, the latest effort a third over 1006m at this track (Turf) when beaten 1.75 lengths. Goes well at this trip, recording four minor placings and shapes as a key runner. GANGSTER FLASH (7) returned from a break with a fourth over 1006m at Evangeline Downs, beaten 5 lengths. Did win second up last campaign and tackles the turf track for the first time today. J Melancon who has scored on her three times retains the mount. In the mix with race fitness now on side.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up ran on from midfield and won by 1.0 len at this track May 16 over 1006m defeating Jezebel with 53kg at $6.50. Second-up held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at this track on June 25 over 1006m, 0.8 len behind Bayou Bertie carrying 54kg at $3.90. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.

Second-up. First-up after nine months tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 12 at this track on June 25 over 1006m, 4 len behind Snazzy Gal carrying 55.5kg at $19. Previously second-up 7th of 11 at Sam Houston Park on February 28 2025 over 1106m, 9 len behind Naval Woman with 55.5kg at $41.40. Fitter but others appeal more.

Second-up. Comes off a 56-day let-up. First-up after nine months 4th of 7 at Evangeline Downs on May 23 over 1006m, 5 len behind Sassi Strutter with 54kg at $23.40. Previously second-up won by a 0.3 len at Evangeline Downs LR August 1 over 1106m defeating El Sunshine carrying 54.5kg at $10.80. Should progress from that first-up run.
