Delta Downs Race 1

5F Stakes

Prize Money: $48,502

GOMARKGO (4) is a promising galloper who resumes from a break. Last raced when second over 1308m at this track (Dirt) ten weeks ago. Should park just off the speed. Expected to be in the finish. ATCHAFALAYA SUNSET (3) broke through for his maiden win over 1308m at this track (Dirt) last time. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and he looks sure to be in the mix. MARKS LEGACY (5) has not been sighted since he finished third over 1408m at this track on December 18. Has definite claims. IMPERIAL BANDIT (6) is a last-start winner three weeks ago, scoring by 4 lengths over 1006m at this track. Profiles to run well.

Second-up won by a 0.3 len at this track January 3 over 1308m defeating Playboy Rocket carrying 53kg at $9. This race is well within his grasp.

Is first-up after a break of ten weeks and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last preparation second in a small field at this track December 12 over 1308m, in the wet; a 0.3 lengths behind Benjamino with 53.5kg at $2.50. First up last campaign second of 10 at this track November 1 over 1308m, 2.25 len behind Skenes Crews with 54.5kg at $5.10. Has plenty of scope for improvement this time in work.
