Delaware Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming
HEARD ON THESTREET (6) is overdue for a win after just missing last time when second over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Well placed here and expected to go close again. CHIPOTLE (3) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 1.5 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Meets some better types this time but another big run will not surprise. BYK (1) is in top form with three wins on end, the latest by a nose over 1207m at Penn National (Dirt) a month ago. Has a strong association with D Cora who has been in the saddle for his last three wins. One of the main contenders. SMOOTH FLYIN MIKE (7) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage fifth over 1609m at Parx (Dirt). Expecting improvement.
