Evangeline Downs Race 8 - 5 1/2f Hcap
HES STEELIN MYLADY (3) led all the way to score as favourite on debut over 1006m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) ten weeks ago and has not appeared since. Likely improver who should run well again. STAR OF BETHLEHEM (5) was less than a length from the winner in second at Belterra Park (Dirt) on debut before showing the benefit of that race experience when an impressive winner over 1006m at this track last start. Capable of further improvement and can go on with the job. MAX ATTACK (8) recorded a strong maiden win over 1006m at this track (Dirt) last time, getting there by 5.5 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and he cannot be discounted. ARMY RUNNING BAYOU (6) travelled just behind the leader before taking over and scoring a determined win by a nose over 1006m here last time. Cannot be underestimated.

Resuming after a break; only one run when won by 3.5 len at Horseshoe Indianapolis May 26 over 1006m defeating Roses' Boy carrying 54kg at $2.60. Looks a key runner.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, ran second last in a small field at this track on June 6 over 905m, 8 len behind Golfito carrying 54.5kg at $2.90. Second-up tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at this track on July 4 over 1006m, 13 len behind Max Attack carrying 54.5kg at $5.20. Win doesn't look likely.

Raced twice to date. When well in the market at debut, set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 7 at Belterra Park on June 27 over 1006m, 0.8 len behind Fortune King with 54kg at $4.80. Last start won by a nose at this track July 18 over 1006m defeating Bold Echo with 54.5kg at $2.60. Hard to beat on current form.

Getting off the mark on debut; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a nose at this track July 18 over 1006m defeating Bold Echo carrying 54.5kg at $7. Improvement likely.
