Delaware Park Race 2

Starter Optional Claiming

Stake: $41,284

HOT DANCE (2) lifted strongly to salute by 5 lengths three runs back at Penn National (Dirt) before filling a minor placing at her last two starts. Goes well at this journey with four wins from 12 starts and is sure to run well. COMPASS FIRE (4) displayed plenty of early toe over 1106m at this track (Dirt) last time and defied all challengers to score by 0.8 lengths. Tackling a deeper field this time but she is up to the task. SHINING SPIRIT (1) returns from a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Scored over 1207m at this track at the start of last prep. Makes plenty of appeal. ANNIEWORKSTOOMUCH (3) ran below expectations last start, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths at Parx (Dirt) over 1207m. Nicely placed to make amends.
