Evangeline Downs Race 8 - 1m Stakes

PERRY COUNTY (5) went forward and proved too strong when resuming last time out, scoring by 2 lengths over 1710m in stakes class at Evangeline Downs (Dirt). Finds a more suitable contest and can get the chocolates. FUNNYFLAME (7) fought on well to finish second last start over 1609m at Evangeline Downs (Dirt), beaten 0.8 lengths. In a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. MR MCGREGOR (3) finished third when resuming on turf, beaten 1.75 lengths at this track. Followed it up with success on the dirt at Evangeline Downs over 1609m three-and-a-half weeks ago. This is his optimum trip with four wins from six starts and has to be respected. ESCAPE ARTIST (1) resumed last time out and finished third over 1710m at Evangeline Downs, beaten 2.25 lengths. Should be involved in the finish.
