Evangeline Downs Race 4

7 1/2F Stakes

Prize Money: $48,062

CASPIAN WIND (2) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished third, beaten 3 lengths, over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Placed to advantage so expect a big run. SOUTHSCAPE (3) was too good for a maiden field last start over 1609m at this track (Turf), scoring by 1.5 lengths. Can go right on with the job now. HARD SPUN TO RUN (8) didn't do a bad job when second last start after being prominent at the corner over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. That followed a win at Louisiana Downs the start prior. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. NEXT LEVEL (6) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 1710m on May 9. Now under the care of new trainer Sherman Savoie. Can make his presence felt.
