Delaware Park Race 8

Maiden Claiming

Stake: $40,734

MUSICAL (3) stepped out on his debut over 1207m at Colonial Downs (Dirt) seven-and-a-half weeks ago and finished fourth, beaten 6 lengths. Expected to improve and will pay to follow up. STANLEY CAT (1) is a 11-start maiden who could only manage to finish seventh at his latest appearance over 1408m at Saratoga (Dirt) after he was well back on straightening. This offers him a great chance of breaking through. SUMMER READY (5) is a four-year-old gelding who has just one minor placings to his name in five starts. Never a threat when resuming last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt), finishing 10 lengths from the winner in sixth. Can do much better. DATS MY PHARAOH (2) is ticking along okay with two runs this time in. Improved last time out when second, beaten 9 lengths, at Parx (Dirt) over 1308m. Looks a definite top-three candidate.
