Delaware Park Race 1

Claiming

Stake: -

AARAJ (2) Overrun late when 3rd beaten by 3 3/4L last time Parx At Philadelphia and facing weaker opposition. Should muster plenty of early speed. Jockey Jaime Rodriguez is a plus. Deserves consideration. ASCENDANCE (3) Finished 4th last time at Laurel Park. Has the talent to rebound quickly and competing at a lower level of competition. Down in distance. A win wouldn't surprise. STRONG FINISH (6) Gave plenty of cheek when 2nd beaten by 3/4L last run at Laurel Park and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Needs some luck and is an each way suggestion. THE HEIGHTS (7) Strong effort to the line to win last start at this track but taking on stronger opponents. Jose A Batista and Mario Serey Jr are a proven combination. Worth consideration.
