EBONY JAMES (6) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) over 366m on November 28. Rates highly and should take some beating. DISTINCTIVE ONE (1) has been about the money with two minor placings from three starts this campaign, the latest a solid third over 302m at this track (Dirt). Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Among the leading chances. ROCKHARD TEN (4) resumed three weeks ago over 274m at this track and was only beaten 0.5 lengths into fourth. Must raise the bar but a better run will not surprise. JONCADES FLY BY (2) returns after a spell of six months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 320m at this track. Now under the care of new trainer Esau H Hernandez. Has found the right race and is worth including.
