Delaware Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Robert G. Dick Memorial Stakes - Grade 3

Joe Hirsch Turf Classic winner WAR LIKE GODDESS (9) turned in a solid fresh performance last start when a minor placegetter over 1911m in the G1 New York Stakes at Saratoga (Turf), beaten 3 lengths. Has three wins when second-up and boasts a strong record at the trip. Ready to find winning form. Grade 1 placegetter CHOP CHOP (7) found one marginally better last start over 2414m in stakes class at Churchill Downs (Turf) after being prominent throughout. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. Grade 3 winner ATOMIC BLONDE (5) has returned in good shape this preparation. Opened with a second in the G3 Bewitch Stakes at Keeneland (Turf) two starts back then got the job done by half a length last time out over 2414m in stakes class at Churchill Downs (Turf). Looks well placed so expect another big run. Grade 3 winner VERGARA (8) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished third, beaten 5 lengths, over 2414m in Listed grade at Churchill Downs (Turf). Likely improver with strong prospects.
