Evangeline Downs Race 9 - 5 1/2f Stakes
IRISH WHISKEY (1) closed last campaign with six consecutive minor placings and is back today after a break of four-and-a-half months. Likely to go forward from a nice draw. Likely to feature. RIPPLE'S ROCKET (6) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1408m at Louisiana Downs (Dirt). Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field. PROMISE ME MONEY (7) improved last start to finish second over 805m at Gillespie County Fairground after being in contention on the corner. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. MO'Z STAR SAILOR (9) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1408m at Louisiana Downs, beaten 5.5 lengths into fourth. Better than recent efforts suggest.
