Delaware Park Race 7

Starter Optional Claiming

Prize Money: $44,444

MAD FOR MADDY (6) had a bit on her rivals last time with an impressive 5 lengths win over 1673m at Parx (Dirt). Is going okay this campaign, recording three wins and three minor placings from eight starts. Expected to be in the finish. THEA (4) was comfortably accounted for when pulled up last time out over 1673m at Parx,. That followed a win at Ellis Park at the previous outing. Has the class to produce another win. VIOLET'S CHARM (3) is putting together some solid results. Finished third at this track (Dirt) two starts back then landed the prize by 0.1 lengths last time out over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. CASTAGNA (1) turned in another moderate effort last start when 18 lengths from the winner in 14th over 1308m at Parx. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.

Recent form sound. Returns from a 46-day let-up. Last start won by 5 len at Parx on August 15 over 1673m defeating I Can Run with 55.5kg at $3.90. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose at Parx on July 14 over 1673m defeating Warrior's Ransom carrying 55.5kg at $2. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.
