Delaware Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Starter Optional Claiming
GOLDEN CANDY (10) made it three wins on the bounce last time out when he scored by a nose over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Winning rider Jose A Batista retains the mount. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. IRISH HERO (3) missed the frame two back on turf over 1006m at Pimlico but improved sharply on the dirt last time, scoring over 1207m at this track. X Perez who has four wins when partnering stays on. Should be in the finish. DON'T WAIT UP (7) is having his first run since May 15. Goes well when fresh with a win and two placings from four starts. Sure to make his presence felt. BOSS IS A PAL (6) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last start over 1106m at Laurel (Turf), beaten 2.5 lengths. Worth noting Jamie Rodriguez goes aboard. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish.
