Spotlight: Came home eighth in April in race won by House Bourbon when beaten 9l (Evangeline Downs) in an allowance optional claimer; returns from a break here; if recent form can be forgiven, interesting based on win three runs ago; ought to be competitive.

Spotlight: Goes for a hat-trick today; got home in front by a short head in an allowance optional claimer at Louisiana Downs in September; despite that Louisiana Downs success, not easy to fancy.

Spotlight: Last won over C&D in 2023; could not compete with House Bourbon when sixth (Evangeline Downs) in August in a claimer; a once useful performer but not at that level anymore and there are better alternatives here.

Spotlight: Finished just behind Sonya Knows Better when seventh (Delta Downs) 23 days ago in an allowance race; record shows he knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 3-13); makes limited appeal as this is a fairly competitive event.

Spotlight: Just under 2l fourth to the reopposing Cypress Gold in an allowance race (Evangeline Downs) three months ago; has scored over C&D; this is his level; can be on the premises if replicating most recent run.

Spotlight: On a hat-trick after last win and shown recent signs of improvement; got the job done in an allowance race by half a length at Delta Downs 30 days ago; may have to settle for supporting role despite that win at Delta Downs.

Spotlight: Comfortably beaten finishing sixth in a black type at Delta Downs last month on debut for this trainer; he can make a bold bid if duplicating the form of his most recent win and dropping in class.

Spotlight: Has winning form over this course and distance on the CV; not disgraced in fifth in an allowance optional claimer two months ago (Louisiana Downs) when just behind Pegaso; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role given many of his rivals are in good form.

Spotlight: Accounted for Wicked Secret and Gem Buoy in an allowance race at Evangeline Downs in September, getting the job done by just over 1l; has chalked up two wins from his last five; has winning track form; he's an attractive contender as this predicted early leader has a good record when able to dominate.

Spotlight: Successful five times from 20 career runs; respectable effort to finish second in July (Evangeline Downs, had Coffee County (fifth) and House Bourbon (last) behind) in an allowance race; big chance as he has defied a similar absence in the past.

Spotlight: Beaten just over 5l into third at Evangeline Downs in June in an allowance optional claimer; successful twice in his last three starts; a winner over this C&D; has had some time off; likely to be involved.

Spotlight: Solid effort over 5f at Delta Downs (allowance race) four weeks ago; a likely player if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success.

Spotlight: Not beaten too far when sixth at Delta Downs three weeks ago in an allowance race; a winner on five occasions from 6½f to 1m½f but not always shown an awful lot since winning an allowance optional claimer at Fair Grounds last December; the Samuel Breaux outfit is running hot currently.

Spotlight: Searching for his third career win; not beaten too far when sixth at Delta Downs last month when back to 6½f in an allowance race; extra distance today could help.

Spotlight: Loves it here (three wins); gained a 2½l success in an optional claimer at Delta Downs three weeks ago; steps up to allowance company.

Spotlight: Has won four times here and one-time smart performer; got the job done in an allowance optional claimer by just over 1l at Delta Downs 35 days ago; claiming value now rises to $20k.
