KALIES FAST MAGIC (6) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just 0.3 lengths away in second over 1f80yards at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) after being prominent from the outset. Tackling a more suitable race so he is all set to build on that latest effort. DI ESPERANZA (1) tackled the over 1f180yards at Evangeline Downs last time out when fresh from a lay-off and was beaten 3 lengths into sixth by Gbh Fiscal Toni. This looks a more suitable assignment. MAKING A ROYAL DASH (9) finished out of the money when fresh from a lay-off two starts back then was beaten 2.25 lengths when seventh over 1f80yards at Evangeline Downs three weeks ago. Worth noting Ubaldo Luna goes aboard. Has the class to take care of this field. CORONA123 (8) has not won for a long while. Last raced on December 5 when beaten 0.8 lengths into sixth at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) over 1f80yards after he got a long way back in the run. Good enough on his day and can fill a top-three spot.
