Evangeline Downs Race 1 - 7 1/2f Stakes
MOJANE METAL (9) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1609m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Has the ability to take care of this field. ABOVE THE WORLD (2) gets a change of rider and has been freshened up since lost rider over 1609m at this track (Turf) last start. Better than the last run suggests. DIJON (3) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 2.75 lengths away in third over 1006m at this track (Dirt). Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. NOTHIN (4) showed good early speed and led into the straight before fading to finish fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 1609m at this track (Turf). One of the contenders with the blinkers added.

Most recently didn't finish the race at this track June 27 over 1609m. The race before that 2nd of 8 at this track on June 11 over 1609m, 1.0 len behind Proton Kitty carrying 55kg at $5.30. Worth another chance.
