Evangeline Downs Race 8 - 5f Stakes

DIAMOND EMPRESS (1) is fitter for two runs from a spell, last start finishing 3 lengths away in third over 1006m at this track (Turf). Among the leading chances. LADY CHERYL'S SONG (3) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fourth, beaten 5 lengths, over 1006m at this track (Turf). Has a strong record at the third run in and is ready to show what she can do. EL SUNSHINE (2) is tested on a turf track for the first time today on her return from a lengthy spell. Finished fifth at Listed level at Fairgrounds (Dirt) over 1207m when last resuming. Should camp just off the leaders. Capable of testing this field. MIKA ELLA PIKA (7) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing eighth last start over 1006m at this track (Turf) six weeks ago. Should camp just off the leaders. Sure to be thereabouts.
