Evangeline Downs Race 6 - 5 1/2f Stakes
CREOLE LADY (2) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1006m at this track (Dirt) after being in contention on the turn. This looks a sterner test than last time but she is capable of testing her rivals. RUNNING FAITH (7) is back after a break of six months. At the last run before the layoff she finished seventh over 1308m at Delta Downs (Dirt). Has ability and is a solid chance. BULLETPROOF BESS (8) has been in the betting at both starts but hasn't managed to break through. Most recently finished fifth over 1609m at Louisiana Downs Turf (Turf), beaten 10 lengths. Worth considering. MELISSA GALE (3) is a three-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Joseph O Duhon. By Maximum Security from Maren's Storm. Worth watching for a betting push.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign second last of 8 at Delta Downs February 11 over 1308m, on heavy track; 6 len behind Chicka Chick carrying 55kg at $2.60. On debut fifth of 10 at Delta Downs October 22 over 1006m, 15 len behind Little Miss Curlin carrying 54.5kg at $4.30. Could prove too smart for these.
