Delaware Park picks and analysis: June 7, 2024

Picks and analysis for this evening’s card from Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races:

  • DATE: June 7, 2024
  • RACES ON CARD: 8
  • CARRYOVERSNone
  • POST TIME: 12:30 p.m.

RACE 1

3. Court ContenderLightly raced sort lands in good spot after knocking down two-life condition at a higher price level; makes third start off the bench
6. AfraidofthebunnyForm’s a bit in-and-out but top trainer Ness has gotten a pair of good ones out of this 4yo in first two of the season
2. Master of NoneFrequent bridesmaid should appreciate a track that may have some moisture in it

RACE 2

1. Disco BallVoided claim in last and barn switch normally would give pause, but new trainer protects this one here, a positive sign; if the speedster can repeat any of his last three, he probably wins
6. Captain QuintStoked up a strong rally to win Md-bred allowance three back going seven-eighths; if the pace heats up – and it very well could – this one will be running late
3. Run PoppyTough beat in last when leading a long way before getting run down late in first try of the season; should be a forward factor and drawn outside the other main speed (#1)

RACE 3

6. Fixed OddsSpeedy sort has won on dirt and on off tracks
10. Delta CharmShould compete with these and outside draw could aid the cause if rider Centeno wants to eyeball other speed
3. Miss M MWill be first time sprinting on dirt

RACE 4

5. JackmanCaught an awfully rough crew in last; could be the speed
3. Holy SynchronicityShould be running at the end
4. The DistractorHas run two strong ones in a row, one leading, one off the pace; may go off shorter than morning line

RACE 5

6. Tio TonyMost recent dirt try last September probably wins here; seems to have maintained form on synthetic
7. Bottomless RefillMakes third start off the bench
1. Return FireHas had his moments

Racing Notes

  • Alva Starr reached millionaire status by winning the Rehoboth Wednesday…
  • Distorted d’Oro won a one-mile maiden event on the turf by a nose in over Toy Collector in a battle of super-well-bred fillies making their debuts…

RACE 6

4. Petingas TwinPerhaps a bit overmatched in G3 at PImlico, but prior form plenty good enough despite catching some tough rivals; show horse two back won an allowance next out; trainer’s go-to rider at CT in for the mount a good sign
5. MuazarahShortening up looks like a good move; gelded since last
6. SquintsStrong effort in last when running hard every step to just miss

RACE 7

11. Argentina GirlFrequent bridesmaid may appreciate off-the-turf rivals
1. Oscar GazeDon’t sleep on MTO runners
9. Brown Suga BabeHas been gradually improving

RACE 8

10. New Jersey HeistMakes second start of the season; has efforts that would win here
2. Infinite SeriesMade a bit of a middle move in last in first try at this level but going two turns; cutback to 6f a plus
3. Taji MikeTrainer Phil Capuano 5-for-15 when dropping horses by 50% or more
