Evangeline Downs Race 8 - 5 1/2f Hcap
STRIKINGLY DANDI (4) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1006m at Lone Star Park (Dirt) seven weeks ago. Has plenty of upside and can win again. COPPER KEY (3) broke through for her maiden win over 1006m at this track (Dirt) last time, scoring comfortably. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and she is a great chance to go back-to-back. COPY THIS (2) is a last-start winner two weeks ago, scoring by 3.5 lengths over 1006m at this track. Well placed and likely to feature. MY HINTOF PLATINUM (5) raced on the speed from the outset and went to score by 5 lengths last time over 1006m at this track (Dirt). Can sneak into the finish again.
