RACE 1

5. CentsamillaCaught a tiger in debut against special weight foes as winner earned 82 Beyer fig
6. Rama Bama LanaTough one in debut when taken down after shutting off foe but was clear of the rest; trainer looking for first win
3. Our Best SongGood effort when outrunning 10-1 odds in latest

RACE 2

4. Valid ReasonRan ok on last visit to DEL but hoping for a bit more here in third of the cycle; probably looks to stalk and pounce
1. R Averie LynnRunner-up in a pair of these lately, couldn’t hold off closer Little Crybaby in latest; likely to be on the engine from the inside stall
6. RitabookTwo back this miss went to the front and repelled R Averie Lynn; last out she tried to press that rival and never could get by; interesting tactical challenge for the rider here

RACE 3OFF THE TURF

3. MinisterMTO runner has credible tries versus better
13. Wampanoag ChiefFull sis Flor de Sambra won a pair of stakes on the main track; this guy makes his dirt bow after not-terrible turf and synth outings
6. Lookin Like LuckyWell bet in debut and flashed a bit of speed; gelded for this tilt
4. Star of AbrahamGood early zip in only prior try in a race that’s been pretty productive

RACE 4

4. Bollo de CremaBack to the main track and should control the pace on the dropdown in company
5. Missy’s MapCredible try versus similar in first dirt effort against winners
3. FabiaOutmatched in allowance company, should find this group more congenial

RACE 5OFF THE TURF

5. Military RoadKinda now or never for this guy, who’s been the beaten fave in four starts, including odds-on in last two; speed figs say he wins here
9. Booted UpSneaky good debut when away awkwardly and green early but finishing with a flourish and catching the winner on the gallop-out; breeding says he wants the added ground
10. Mr. FuntasticoOnly dirt try wasn’t bad

RACING NOTES

  • Trainer Kerri Raven improved to 4-for-10 at the meet when Indy’s Universe ($7.20) dominated a maiden claimer by over eight lengths. Alexander Crispin was in the irons for the sophomore Unified filly…
  • Three-year-old Chipotle ($6.40) thrashed his elders in a starter allowance to close the card. Ridden by Raul Mena for trainer Mike Gorham, Chipotle has won four of five this year, his only miss a rough outing in the Chick Lang at Pimlico…
  • Delaware lover Golden Candy ($12.40) wore down Rominski to win a starter/optional claimer for his eighth career win at the track. Jose Batista was up for trainer Wallace Neilson

RACE 6

5. SpikezoneIn his last couple he’s run into rivals with even more early lick than he has — not the case here; should get to the front and control
3. LattaCost himself all shot in the Mr. P when walking out of the gate in a tough heat that produced two next-out stakes winners; gelded since latest and hoping he can leave without incident
4. On the MarkKeeps churning out good races and most likely upsetter in the field

RACE 7OFF THE TURF

7. J D FactorSpeed of the speed arrives off two straight dominant wins on dirt
8. California SoberDirt tries aren’t terrible; gelded and returns for a barn that can win first off the bench
10. TrevessoShould be running at the end
