THE SHINING CARTEL (1) finished second two runs back at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 0.3 lengths as favourite over 1f31yards at this track (Dirt). Francisco Giles scored on him last time and retains the mount. Has the talent to produce another positive result. MARTINIS MONEYMAKER (2) was last at the races when he finished fifth over 1f80yards at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) on November 30. One of the genuine hopes in the race. AREASONFORACOCKTAIL (5) finished fifth over 1f80yards at this track (Dirt) last time out following a determined win when fresh from a lay-off two runs back. Should be poised just off the lead. One of the main contenders. JESS MOON COMING (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1f31yards at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths into seventh. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
