RUN FOR THE PRIZE (7) is back from a lay-off of 11 weeks. Scored a determined win at his final run last campaign at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) over 2½f. Has switched to the Andre Brooks stable. Sure to make his presence felt. RUSE DYNASTY 123 (3) finished 0. 7 lengths away in sixth last time out over 0½f at this track when resuming from a lay-off as 11/10 favourite. Tackles a longer journey this time. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Likely to feature. AJS LOUISIANA CHICK (5) is back from a lay-off of 11 weeks. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1f180yards at Evangeline Downs (Dirt). Comes here with definite top-three claims. SHEZA FAST PILOTO (1) showed good early speed and led throughout to score by 1. 3 lengths last start over 2½f at Evangeline Downs (Dirt). Winning rider Rene Hernandez sticks. Worth including in calculations.
