Evangeline Downs Race 5

5F Stakes

Stake: $56,230

USUALLY WRONG (7) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 34 lengths away in eighth over 1207m at Keeneland (Dirt) on October 10 which was the only run of that prep. Has a very strong record first-up including two wins. Expect a bold showing. DOUBLE EDGE SWORD (1) showed good pace and kicked strongly to score over 1006m at Delta Downs (Dirt) last time. Positive ride expected again and is a leading hope. SPEIGHTFUL ONE (2) is a distance specialist who finished out of the money two starts back then he settled well back and was beaten 10 lengths when eighth in a 1207m contest at Fairgrounds two-and-a-half weeks ago. Faces an easier assignment so he is perfectly placed to score. GUITAR DOCTOR (6) could only manage tenth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1006m at Delta Downs, beaten just 1.5 lengths. Another forward showing is anticipated.
