Evangeline Downs Race 2

1M Stakes

Prize Money: $46,579

CLEARLY ARTEMUS (2) is yet to break through after six starts. Last time out was fifth, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 1609m at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf). Overdue and expected to go very well. MATCHING FUNDS (5) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time over 1609m at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf). It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is right in contention. SMARTY'S BACK (8) has been kept fresh since finishing second last start over 1609m at Delta Downs (Dirt). Among the main chances. BUZZ LIGHTFOOT (4) was well in the market when resuming last start but failed to threaten when a disappointing fifth at Delta Downs (Dirt) over 1509m. With blinkers added expect to see plenty of improvement.

Jumped at very long odds at debut, second last of 9 at Fairgrounds on March 16 over 1207m, 19 len behind General Graham carrying 54.5kg at $55.30. Can do better. Strong chance in this line-up.
