Evangeline Downs Race 7 - 6f Stakes
PRETTY FAST (1) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 1.75 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with three wins from four starts. Big chance once again. TO THE CHIEF (3) saluted at the first run back from a spell last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 1.3 lengths. Has been given a let-up of six weeks since that outing. Has a liking for this trip and must be respected. BERGEN (4) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was beaten 3 lengths into fourth over 1408m at this track. Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. Steps up a level but he is fitter and good enough to feature. TICKLE ME UNCLEMO (2) got the prize two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when second over 1408m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Worth plenty of thought.
