NEW DESTINY (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start when she made late ground but found a couple better over 6f at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. PLUM WINE (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m at Evangeline Downs, beaten 5. 5 lengths into fifth. Finds the right race this time and can take this out. LIGHTENING MO (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 26 lengths when fourth over 1m1/4f at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is right in contention. LITTLE Z (1) finished third at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt), finishing 44 lengths back in seventh. Best figures measure up nicely. Solid top-three prospects.
