HEZA SILENT ROGUE (6) finished second at Evangeline Downs two runs back but was less effective last time over 1f80yards at this track (Dirt), finishing 3 lengths back in seventh. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the key runners. TTT IVANA ROYALITY (5) drew wide last time and was safely held when sixth over this track and trip. Among the winning hopes. BAR MONEY CARTEL (4) comes here off a break of eight months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 1f80yards at this track. Looks a strong top-three prospect. I GOT FIRERY (2) produced another moderate effort last start when 1.2 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1f80yards at this track. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
