Delaware Park picks and analysis: July 10, 2025

Picks and analysis for this afternoon’s card from Delaware Park:

RACE 1

5. Great Quality	Makes second start off the bench and second with Lasix on; trainer-jock combo 3-for-6, and trainer Capuano’s won 11 of 40 outings in second off long breaks
3. Rockingham Joe	Speed figs stack up, and if he likes the dirt, he should be a factor; his best sib was stakes-placed on the main track
4. Lex	Shades come off but leading rider goes on after near-miss versus similar

RACE 2

5. Whatarewedoing	Aggressively handled miss just missed at higher level in latest; barn means business when dropping in claiming price
6. Downanddirtydonna	Zippy worktab for CT shipper; barn that doesn’t run here a ton attracts leading rider
2. Nanny’s Dime	Some solid works, including from the gate

RACE 3

2. Band Camp	Has finished first or second nine straight, won last out, and makes third off the bench; looks for stalk-and-pounce trip
6. Rominski	Likely speed of the speed and owns a class edge; the question is how aggressive will the pressure from his outside be? Last a bit of a disappointment at 2-5
9. Golden Candy	Delaware lover reunited with trainer Neilson, who had him in ’23 and part of ’24

RACE 4 – OFF THE TURF

2. Beautiful Blome	Last year’s White Clay Creek Stakes winner had a useful enough return from a freshening and gets Lasix on for the first time
8. Gourmet	Solid form, though it appears she prefers sprints
5. Momm’s Lino	Been over a year since she’s tried the main track, but prior form on it was competitive
1. Volatility	Versatile sort made a middle move in latest on turf; second of the season here

RACE 5

6. Cuz Ur Pretty	Speedy but doesn’t need the lead, and a repeat of most of her recent races would win here; has won second allowance three times but always for the tag
1. Old Bay	Might get a good trip in a race that has some early types
2. Mudslide	Though best work has come at CT, really hasn’t run badly except for the turf outing; back to main track here

RACE 6 – OFF THE TURF

9. Sheezahotmess	MTO runner just missed versus similar last out
7. Eachpeachpearplum	Lone dirt try wasn’t terrible, and added ground today a plus
13. Valerie Street	Debut dirt outing wasn’t bad in a race that’s produced three next-out winners
6. Indy’s Universe	Wouldn’t be shocked if they sent her to the front

RACE 7

6. Warp Nine	Ran well but not well enough in latest; breaking outside probably a plus for this guy, and best should do it
1. Arrow Speed	Go-to rider JRod picks this of the two Ness runners; return to two turns a plus
5. War Master	Trainer Gorham 22% with a positive ROI first off the claim

RACE 8

6. Chipotle	Toss the Chick Lang, and the rest of this guy’s work is stellar; should get a good trip
3. Intrepid’s Legacy	Makes third start of the cycle
2. Plausible Denile	Could get a pace to close into
