Delaware Park Race 9

Allowance Optional Claiming

Stake: -

TRACKING ERROR (4) Gave nothing else a chance when winning by 3 1/2L last run here but up against stronger opponents. One of the top hopes. IRISH EXIT (1) First up specialist. Disappointing effort when 6th last time at Laurel Park. Capable of bouncing back and drawn beautifully. Ajhari Williams usually performs well for this stable. A win wouldn't surprise. SPEEDYNESS (3) Outgunned at the finish when 2nd beaten by 2L last time Parx At Philadelphia but stepping up to a higher level. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. HOWGREATISNATE (5) Advanced late into 4th last start at Laurel Park and racing over more ground. Expected to be flashing home. Up against tougher competition. Include in chances.

Goes well when fresh. Odds of $5.50 and subpar when 6th last time at Laurel Park. Capable of bouncing back and will appreciate a good barrier. Stands out as good value.

Was agonizingly close last start at Laurel Park and will try to take advantage of the gate. Jockey Emanuel Rosario and trainer Gary Capuano deserve respect as a team. Would be more keen on the chance of others.

Couldn't maintain the momentum throughout when 2nd last time Parx At Philadelphia but competing in a more challenging grade. Martin Chuan and Jamie Ness deserve serious attention when combined. Very capable of taking this out.

Started $10.00 and pushed past some when 4th last start at Laurel Park and going over extra ground. Displays very good closing speed. Facing a stronger class. One for the value hunters.
