Evangeline Downs Race 1 - 7 1/2f Stakes
ARARATTA (1) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when third over 1609m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Finds a suitable race and can return to winning ways. SWAMP QUEEN (5) finds it hard to win with two victories from 20 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 1609m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Faces an easier assignment so she is one of the main contenders. KINDLING EMBERS (8) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when fourth, beaten 7 lengths, over 1006m at Louisiana Downs Turf (Turf). Meets some better types this time but a big run is on the cards. GET READY GAL (4) resumes from a spell of three months. Has filled a minor placing at each of her three first-up runs. Opened last prep with a second over 1609m at Sam Houston Park Turf. Expected to run well.

Racing well recently. Comes off a 29 day let-up. Most recently 3rd of 8 at this track on August 6 over 1609m, 4.5 len behind Diva Beach carrying 54.5kg at $9.70. The race before that won by 2.5 len at this track on June 12 over 1609m defeating Bronze Legacy with 56kg at $9.50. One of the prime contenders in a most suitable contest.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up came from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Evangeline Downs on July 10 over 1106m, 2 len behind Tarkington Sunrise carrying 56kg at $20.90. Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at Evangeline Downs on August 20 over 1207m, 6 len behind Age Of Reason with 55kg at $4.10. Cannot be ruled out despite a moderate effort last time.

Last start eased back early on 7th of 9 at Evangeline Downs on August 8 over 1006m, 12 len behind Stormy Lou with 54kg at $70. Before that 8th of 10 at Evangeline Downs on July 10 over 1106m, 8 len behind Tarkington Sunrise carrying 54kg at $18.70. Not doing enough to threaten the top few today.

Mare back from a spell of three months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last preparation fifth of 7 at Lone Star Park June 7 over 1609m, 7 len behind Jewlz carrying 56kg at $9.50. When resuming last campaign second of 8 at Sam Houston Park Turf January 31 over 1609m, 0.5 len behind Colormecairo carrying 55kg at $3.50. Best form gives her a decent chance.

Form hard to fault. Last start ran second last in a small field at Louisiana Downs Turf on August 11 over 1006m, 7 len behind Wannawholelottaluv with 54kg at $9.50. The run before that ran second last in a small field at this track on June 20 over 1609m, 14 len behind Thundering Desire carrying 55kg at $4.10. Capable of more – worth another chance.
