LUYV (3) ran well despite being friendless in betting last time over 5½f at Listed level at Evangeline Downs (Dirt), finishing second and beaten one length at 25/1. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Expecting a bold showing. NONEYA (2) hit the line nicely last time to grab third, beaten 1.3 lengths, over this journey in stakes class at Evangeline Downs (Dirt). Has a fine record here with three wins from six starts. Expected to be in the finish. FIRED UP TIGER (1) finished half a length from the winner in second last start over 7f at Listed level at Evangeline Downs (Dirt). Excellent record here having never missed the placings in three starts, including two wins and one placing. One of the leading contenders. APPROPRIATED FUNDS (7) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing ninth last start over 6f in Listed grade at Lone Star Park (Dirt) five-and-a-half weeks ago. Expecting to see her turn things around.
