Delaware Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance Optional Claiming
JUST FOR THE MONEY (3) improved sharply on his seventh two starts back at Laurel (Turf) with a win over 1106m at this track (Dirt) three weeks ago, getting home by 1.3 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Meets a stronger field but he is worth serious consideration. INNOVA (4) resumes after a break of 12 weeks. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 1207m at Monmouth Park. Makes plenty of appeal. CHIPOTLE (6) was safely held when resuming from a spell behind Retribution in Listed grade at Pimlico (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten 12 lengths into tenth. Should be poised just off the lead. One to consider. COJELO PA TI (5) raced on the speed from the outset and went to score by 0.3 lengths last time over 1207m at Monmouth Park (Dirt). Has been in solid form this campaign with four wins to his name. Not to be discounted.
