Evangeline Downs Race 7 - 1m Stakes

CURLIN'S GESTURE (7) showed good early speed last start before boxing on well and finishing second, beaten 0.3 lengths, over today's trip at Evangeline Downs Turf (Turf). Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. FAKE SMART (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1609m at Evangeline Downs Turf, beaten 2.5 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. WEEKENDSANDWHISKEY (4) was far from disgraced when third last start over 1609m at Evangeline Downs Turf, beaten 1.3 lengths after he did his best work in the closing stages. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. HEXCEL (2) had been rock-solid with two placings in a row before finishing fifth over 1609m at Evangeline Downs Turf last start. Jonuelle Pena goes well on this five-year-old and is back on top today. Can play a role in the finish.

Second-up. First-up after two months ran second last of 7 at Evangeline Downs Turf on July 17 over 1609m, 2.5 len behind Brock's Boy with 54kg at $13.90. Previously second-up 2nd in a small field at Fairgrounds on December 4 over 1710m, 11 len behind Carson Street with 54.5kg at $3.70. Strips fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
