DEVIL'S POOL (4) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 5f at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) when third, beaten 2.75 lengths. Likely improver so she should pay to follow. LUCKY GEM (2) is a daughter of Authentic from the Group 1 winner Hot Autumn who makes her debut. Profiles nicely for this and bold showing expected. CLEVER RACE (1) debuted three-and-a-half weeks ago when she finished fifth over 5f at Evangeline Downs (Dirt), beaten 14 lengths. Top-three chance with that run under her belt. DIAMOND EMPRESS (5) is a two-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Jaylan Clary. By Outwork from Finer Things. Watch the market closely.
