Evangeline Downs Race 3

5F Stakes

Stake: $55,687

TUSSLING CHARLIE (5) ran well below his best last time over 1710m in Listed grade at this track (Turf), beaten 13 lengths into tenth at $5.70. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Leading contender. CLEAR AS A BELE (9) has switched yards since a half a length win last start on dirt at Fairgrounds over 1207m. Tackles a turf track for the first time today. Sure to take beating. STEADY ON (3) was a most impressive winner last time over 1811m at Fairgrounds (Turf), scoring by 3.5 lengths. Should be poised just off the lead. One of the main contenders. TDZ HINT OF POWER (6) finished off last campaign with a win over 1006m at Delta Downs ten weeks ago. On a turf track for the first time on his return. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Should give backers a sight.
