Delaware Park Race 5

Allowance

Stake: $77,263

MR FLOWERS (4) has switched yards since finishing second five weeks ago over 1710m at Aqueduct. Winning chance for the new barn. END OF ROMANCE (3) has switched yards since finishing fifth eight weeks ago over 1609m at Aqueduct. Worth serious consideration. COCKTAILS AT NOON (7) kicked off this campaign with a win two runs ago. Couldn't follow that up last time out when third over 1710m at Laurel, beaten 4.5 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. INTO IT (8) stuck on well when resuming last start to finish second over 1710m at Laurel (Turf) after showing good early speed. In the right race and is one of the big hopes.
