PAINT ME ONIS (7) boxed on to finish second last start over 1f180yards in Group 3 grade at Evangeline Downs (Dirt), beaten half a length when fresh from a lay-off. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. GOLD HEARTED EAGLE (8) will find this easier than last start when sixth over 1f130yards in Group 2 class at Evangeline Downs (Dirt), that effort coming on the back of a win in a at Evangeline Downs (Dirt). Can figure in the finish back in this company. RIPNZOOM (2) is overdue for a win but starting to prove costly, the latest another placing when second at Evangeline Downs (Dirt). Rates well and expected to be right in this. LIL TOO DIRTY (4) returns after a lay-off of three-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1f130yards at this track. Now under the care of new trainer Alex P Clark. Among the better hopes.
