Evangeline Downs Race 1 - 5f Stakes
ROMANTIC RUMOR (8) will find this a little easier than her third on debut four weeks ago, beaten 5 lengths at the end of 1006m at Evangeline Downs (Dirt). Sure to take a lot from that hitout so she shouldn't be a maiden for long. BAYOU BADDIE (5) is a filly by Jack Christopher from the stakes-winner Mominou on debut. Profiles nicely for a big run at first outing. STEPHS FACTOR (7) is appearing for the first time. By Oscar Performance and is out of the Justin Jeansonne stable. Bold showing expected. RIDING COATTAILS (9) is a two-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Jonathan Wong. By Keepmeinmind from Better Not Cry. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves.

First-starter by Mo Tom out of Wildwood Kantharos. Hard to gauge so let the betting tell the story.

Jumped at big odds at debut, ran second last of 8 at Evangeline Downs on July 17 over 1006m, 13 len behind Copper Key with 52kg at $41.20. Cannot enthuse after the moderate debut effort.

Was well in the market at debut, 3rd in a small field at Evangeline Downs on July 3 over 1006m, 5 len behind My Hintof Platinum carrying 54.5kg at $5. Sure to take a lot from that experience and makes plenty of appeal.
