Delta Downs Race 8

5F Stakes

Stake: $76,347

HANDSOME HAROLD (6) returns from a break of nine weeks. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a fifth over 1106m at Evangeline Downs. Ideally placed to score while fresh. PENNYS DEAL (4) was an emphatic winner last time over 1106m at Louisiana Downs (Dirt) with today's rider Alexander Castillo engaged. Likely to feature. DADDY'S FINEST (1) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on 9/05/2025, finishing seventh and beaten 11 lengths over 1006m at Legacy Downs (Dirt). One to consider. RUNNING BAYOU (7) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1207m at Prairie Meadows (Dirt). Nicely placed to find winning ways.
