Evangeline Downs Race 4 - 1m Stakes
SYNTAGMA (3) was in the money two starts back at Evangeline Downs then missed the frame but was not too far away last time over 1509m at this track (Turf). Best figures stack up and looks well placed to get off the mark. LAWLESS WAYS (2) is a five-start maiden who looks close to breaking the duck after finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs, most recently when 0.3 lengths away in second over 1509m at this track. C J McMahon has registered three minor placings when on board. Among the leading chances. JUST NATE (7) returns from a spell of 12 weeks. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when fifth over 1609m at Evangeline Downs (Dirt). Has to be respected. PAIRED (11) could only manage to finish sixth, beaten 17 lengths, at his latest appearance over 1609m at Ellis Park (Dirt). Finds the right race and is worth consideration.
