CASTLE ISLAND (8) was in the money on turf at Evangeline Downs Turf two runs ago then backed it up with a win, also on turf, at Evangeline Downs Turf over 1609m five-and-a-half weeks ago. Carlos Perez who has three wins when partnering stays on. Likely to feature. SKIP THE LINE (7) was a most impressive winner last time over 1609m at Horsemen's Atokad Downs (Dirt), scoring by 6 lengths. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Among the leading chances. STEADY ON (2) is resuming from a spell of 19 months and having his first run for the Rylee Magnon yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf) over 1710m. Solid top-three hope. ESSAY (3) improved sharply last time out to score by 1.3 lengths over 1308m at Louisiana Downs (Dirt) five weeks ago. Solid top-three prospects.
