CONTRABAND EARLY (8) resumes from a lay-off of six-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish fifth at the latest run over 1m at Evangeline Downs (Turf). Has ability and can get off the mark. TEMPLE OF PEACE (1) finished second, beaten 3 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at this track (Dirt) after he was prominent at the bend. This is an easier assignment and can find winning form. BREAKING STAR (3) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on 16/08/2024, finishing fifth and beaten 4.5 lengths over 1m at Evangeline Downs (Turf). Can make his presence felt. WITCHOLOGY (9) was in the money at Delta Downs (Dirt) when resuming two runs back then could only manage fourth at Delta Downs (Dirt) over 1m two-and-a-half weeks ago. Has ability and rates among the chances.
