Penn National Race 1

Starter Allowance

Stake: -

DELRAY (1) Displayed a good turn of foot when winning last run at Delaware Park and back over more ground. Jockey Martin Chuan and trainer Jamie Ness form a formidable team. Respect in this company. TOOTALOO KANGAROO (5) Applied plenty of pressure when 2nd last start at Presque Isle Downs but stepping up to a higher level. Displays good tactical speed. Angel R Rodriguez is a key booking. Honest enough customer who is strongly placed. BRAQUET (4) Picked up late ground when 2nd beaten by 1 3/4L last time at Delaware Park but challenged by a tougher grade. Putting up notable efforts this campaign. No shock to see a win. SECRET JOURNEY (2) Gave them a lesson when winning by more than 7L last start around here and has a good draw. Up against a higher level of opposition. Not out of this.

Was very impressive when winning by just over 7L last start at this track and will try to take advantage of the gate. Competing at a higher level of competition. Should run a competitive race.

Jumped at $31.00 and was making up some late ground when 4th last start Parx At Philadelphia but facing a stronger group of contenders. Expected to settle towards the rear. Looking elsewhere.

Amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by 1 3/4L last time at Delaware Park but matched against tougher rivals. Showing great form since returning from a break. Reasonable chance.

Was overpowered late when 2nd beaten by 1 1/2L last start at Presque Isle Downs but competing in a higher grade. Shows good early pace. Will go close here.
