Delaware Park Race 7

Allowance

Stake: -

BENJI STAR (5) Ran away with a win by a margin of nearly 8L last time Hollywood Casino At Charles Town Races and competing at a lower level of competition. Big chance. EASTBOSTONBENNY (4) Ran 4th last time at Gulfstream Park. Happy to overlook that run but competing in a more challenging class. Expecting to settle positively. Jorge Ruiz is a key booking. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. FEAR NOTHING (2) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd beaten by 4 1/2L last time at Laurel Park and will try to take advantage of the draw. Facing formidable opponents. One of the hopes. NOMOWINEFORYOU (6) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last time Parx At Philadelphia and showing consistent performance in races. Michael V Pino stable are on a hot streak but matched against tougher rivals. Not out of this.

Displayed good finishing speed when 3rd beaten by 2L last run here and gets the perfect gate. Will be hitting the line strongly. Form has been improving over recent runs. Won't find this easy.

Came on strongly when 3rd last time at Laurel Park and can find a nice position from the draw. Been in the placegetters each attempt this campaign. Can go close.

Started at $8.50 and was well beaten when 10th last run at Oaklawn Park. Should improve and drops back to a suitable class. Shows good early pace. Looks highly doubtful.

At $3.60 finished 4th last time at Gulfstream Park. Happy to overlook that run but facing stiffer opposition. Jorge Ruiz is a key engagement. Should muster plenty of early speed. Good chance and definitely has claims.

Bolted in when winning by nearly 8L last time Hollywood Casino At Charles Town Races and lining up against easier rivals. Finishes off strongly. Major chance.
