Evangeline Downs Race 4 - 6f Stakes
LAST TWO DOLLARS (5) is a talented filly who was well held last time out in the tougher race won by Nola Queen over 1106m at this track, beaten 7 lengths into sixth. Yet to break through this time in but hasn't been far away, with two placings to her name. Best form puts her right in this. PERSUASION (10) returns from a spell of 11 weeks and is having her first run for a new yard. Finished sixth at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 1106m when first-up last time in work. Will be tuned-up for this and is expected to run well. ANDREA LEE (3) stepped out on her debut over 1006m at this track (Dirt) two weeks ago and finished fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths. Worth following up. VISIONS OF WAR (9) was in the firing line on the corner and finished third last start over 905m at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.5 lengths. Should take a lot from that hit-out. Must be respected.

Raced two times to date. At big odds at debut, ran second last of 7 at Louisiana Downs on August 5 over 1106m, 22 len behind Luau Larry's with 54.5kg at $35.90. Second-up ran last of 7 at this track on August 21 over 1006m, 24 len behind Cajun Caviar with 54.5kg at $38.60. Hard to imagine a top-three finish.

Comes off a 35 day let-up. Most recently 6th of 9 in Listed grade at this track at this track on July 31 over 1106m, 7 len behind Nola Queen carrying 53kg at $46.80. The start before that 2nd in a small field at this track on July 3 over 1006m, 5 len behind My Hintof Platinum carrying 54.5kg at $5.80. Capable of more – worth another chance.
