Evangeline Downs Race 6

7F Hcap

Stake: $101,250

HE'S LATE AGAIN (4) was narrowly beaten at a huge quote last time out, finishing second over 1710m in stakes class at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Expecting him to run well again. STAR ROCK STAR (3) is a promising type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Has scored at his last two, the latest over 1207m at Fairgrounds (Dirt) winning by 0.1 lengths. Going well and shapes as a key chance. PATIENCE WILL PAY (2) resumes after a break of four-and-a-half months. Looking to emulate his debut win over 1509m at Delta Downs to kick off last prep. One of the genuine hopes in the race. MAJORITY OPINION (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1710m at Fairgrounds, beaten 16 lengths into tenth. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
