Delta Downs Race 6

5F Stakes

Stake: $19,955

HALF AGAIN (5) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish second over 1006m at this track (Dirt) at his latest appearance. Further improvement in store. STEAUXLIT (1) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1106m at Evangeline Downs (Dirt). Key runner. COURTMAN (3) finished off the last campaign with a win over 1106m at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) on July 19. Returns from the break for a new yard. Generally runs well when fresh, recording two minor placings from four runs. Sure to be competitive. EMPIRE KID (2) was safely held last time when he dropped out to finish seventh at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) but down in the weights today. Better than last start and may well be worth another chance.
