READY SHOES (1) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a second most recently over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt) when beaten 1.3 lengths. Has a strong record here at this journey with two wins from four runs. Will be hard to stop. MYSTERIOUS SPIRIT (5) is racing well, scoring in a at this track (Dirt) before finishing one length from the winner in second last time over 7½f at this track (Turf). Should park just off the speed. Expected to be in the finish. SKI PATROL (7) turned in a handy position before finishing second last start over 1m at Evangeline Downs (Dirt), beaten half a length when resuming. Tackling a more suitable race so he will prove hard to beat. CARTHAGE CAJUN (8) finished third two runs back at this track (Turf) then improved last time out to score by 3 lengths as favourite over 1m at this track (Turf). Nicely placed to play a pivotal role.
