Evangeline Downs Race 6 - 7f Stakes
MOTOR CITY (4) is coming off a last-start fourth, beaten 4 lengths, over 1408m at this track. Hard to go past. GUNS (5) started this preparation with a win two runs ago. Less impressive last time out when seventh over 1609m at Evangeline Downs Turf, beaten 5 lengths. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. This doesn't look as hard so he can play a big role. BERGEN (7) is back after a break of five months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1408m at Aqueduct. Makes plenty of appeal. OUTLAW EMPIRE (1) progressed nicely last time out to score by 0.3 lengths over 1207m at Lone Star Park (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect another big run.

Comes off a 30 day let-up. Most recently ran second last of 7 at this track on July 2 over 1308m, 8 len behind Cajun Coaster carrying 54kg at $14.90. The run before that 4th in a small field at this track on June 5 over 1408m, 10 len behind Payne carrying 53.5kg at $17.50. Cannot be ruled out despite a plain effort last time.

Second run back. First-up after a year eased back early on 5th of 7 at this track on July 4 over 1609m, 14 len behind Daddy's Code carrying 55.5kg at $12.60. Previously second-up got back early 3rd in a small field at Gulfstream Park All Weather on May 9 2025 over 1710m, 6 len behind Iron Hand with 55kg at $5.10. Unlikely to threaten.
