R SLIPPERY SECRET (7) was narrowly beaten at a huge quote last time out, finishing second over 1f80yards at this track (Dirt). A repeat of that last effort puts her right in this. AUNT ILA (5) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 0.8 lengths away in third over 1f at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) when she was always up in the leading division. Has the class to produce another positive result. IMA CALENTE KID (6) is finding the breakthrough elusive, beaten 3 lengths into sixth at his latest appearance over 1½f at Evangeline Downs (Dirt). Well placed in this line-up and is among the better chances. MAGIC MARLEY B (4) finished 4.5 lengths from the winner in seventh at her most recent appearance over 1f130yards at this track (Dirt) after she gave away a big start. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment.
