Evangeline Downs Race 7

6F Hcap

Stake: $105,432

CONTRABANDIST (5) improved last start to finish second over 1006m at Delta Downs. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to take this out. COOL COWBOY (1) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1106m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) four weeks ago. Has plenty of upside and should go on with it. BERGHEIM (4) is a distance specialist who finished fifth two runs back in stakes class at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by half a length as public elect after being prominent at the bend over 1207m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt). Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to figure in the finish. INDIAN CAT (8) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on 19/01/2025, finishing fifth and beaten 9 lengths over 1609m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt). Looks a strong top-three prospect.
