Delaware Park Race 7

Allowance Optional Claiming

Prize Money: $71,318

CARD TRICK (7) made progress last time out, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1710m at this track after being prominent at the turn. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MICKEY SHILLELAGH (11) could only manage sixth when resuming at Monmouth Park two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 2012m at Colonial Downs, beaten 3 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. NOBLE JON (4) kept coming but just failed to pick up the winner last start over 1006m at this track (Turf). This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. THE LAST SCIP (6) is going well with three minor placings from three starts this campaign. Turned in another good performance last start when third over 1609m at Penn National (Turf). Looks well placed so expect another big run.
