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

  • RACES ON CARD: 9
  • CARRYOVERS: None
  • POST TIME: 12:30 p.m.

RACE 1

6. Swift TapDidn’t fire in latest after wide journey but projects as main speed here and isn’t far removed from races that win this
7. Bird KingVeteran just missed in latest behind runner extending win streak to three while well clear of the rest
1. Belts ‘n BrooksHas faced better

RACE 2

5. Williston WarriorBet down to chalk in debut and ran a decent enough race; can move forward here
3. Mac DaddynessA half to two first-out winners, he appears to have been working with the filly Witchyness who broke her maiden Saturday with a Beyer fig of 45
4. Manoah’s GloryIgnored by the bettors and showed little in debut, but trainer Delgado has huge numbers (and positive ROI) dropping juveniles from special weight to claiming company

RACE 3

6. Jayjaydee22-time winner exits a plus heat from which all five to run back finished in the top three, gets leading trainer’s go-to rider up
7. Amedeus MusicMakes third start off the bench and second in the Sullivan barn after decent try versus allowance foes
5. CatatumboConsistent sort churns out good races time after time; lack of early zip the only concern here

RACE 4

7. ReppazzWill quite possibly be winging it on the front end again and could go a long way in first in the claiming ranks; trainer Bennett is 3-for-14 off similar layoffs with a gaudy 4.56 ROI, and Crispin remains aboard
3. PegsterWilling when chasing 2-5 winner in latest; gets Lasix on in second off the bench
9. GalatinaShowed improved speed in seasonal bow; trainer Brion got her a turf work in the interim and liked what she saw enough to head here; siblings and Vino Rosso offspring both OK in turf routes

RACE 5

1. Sway’sinmydnaHas two recent wins and excuses in between; bold move to the front and just had enough to hold off next-out winner Granted Success in latest
4. Mat MattersInclined to think cutback to sprint distance and easier group help this one return to better form after poor last outing
7. Fight FiercelyNear-misses in last two and makes third start off the bench

RACING NOTES

  • Jockey Martin Chuan swept the late double Saturday to keep his hot streak going. He won with Divine Grace ($7.60) for trainer Jamie Ness and on Granted Success ($9.40) for Michael Simone…
  • Jamie Ness won two Saturday, as well. In addition to Divine Grace, he also saddled debut winner Witchyness ($11.00), who won a 2-year-old maiden special with Jaime Rodriguez up…

RACE 6

7. ChillowCredible try in latest in first of the year; runner-up from that event had been second in earlier maiden special at AQU
1. High HeartsGood try in off-the-turf event that still had 10 in the gate
3. Cheese N CrackersThree sibs ran in the money on debut, including a first-out winner; half to a turf stakes winner, which might ultimately be this one’s preferred surface

RACE 7

10. Shy ShyMakes third start off the bench and has better races to run back to
2. AranciataNot sure she beat much in latest turf outing but did it impressively; repeat puts her in the mix
11. Dark DutchessStretches out to ‘tweener distance after sticking to one turn for last 11 starts; trainer Neilson having a productive meet

RACE 8

7. Summer’s CominMight sit a good trip off a couple of speedy types and enters in solid form; four of her five career wins have come against NJ-breds
6. MudslideDidn’t run a bad race in latest when dropped from N2X company and should be part of the pace again
4. Old BayConsistent sort had no answers for 1-2 winner in latest but doesn’t see anyone like that rival here

RACE 9

1. Star of AbrahamSpeedy sort ran a good one in seasonal bow when second to 4-5 class dropper; might be speed again
4. SuperlastingsecretFigs say he ought to win here
7. Bodkin CreekDebut outing for Dibben homebred who’s by a sire with just 10 registered offspring and is her dam’s first to race
