Delta Downs Race 2 - 6 1/2F Stakes

FIRE SWORD (4) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 2.25 lengths over 1509m at this track (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three outings. Leading player again. CALCULATED LUV (6) turned in a fine effort to win by a nose at today's course and distance last start in a much improved run. Has the class to take care of this field. IZZY'S BABY BOY (3) was in contention on the bend and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1308m at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.5 lengths. Has started three times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. AFFIRM CHIEF (5) was in the firing line on the corner and finished second last start over 1509m at this track (Dirt), beaten 2.25 lengths. Likely improver with bright prospects.
