HELAIRE (4) was well beaten in a then enjoyed the easier grade last time when finding the frame over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt) and gets some weight relief for this. Rates strongly in this similar company and should feature again. Go close. POPULIST (6) scored by 7 lengths last start over this journey at this track (Dirt). Has a sound record at this journey with two wins and two minor placings. Rates highly and can measure up. Group 1 winner EL ORIENTE (1) travelled in a rearwards position and turned in a mediocre run last time out over 1m at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) after a nice win the start prior. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. MOSQUITO FLEET (3) raced on the speed from the outset and went to score by 4 lengths last time over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt). Can sneak into the finish again.
