Delaware Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Claiming
CAP'N CATS (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1207m at Parx, beaten 7 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Meets some better types this time but another big run will not surprise. GOOD WILLIE (4) is back after a break of three months. At the last run before the layoff he finished seventh over 1710m at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf). Rates highly and is a strong chance to break through. DRIVEN BY MAGIC (1) is appearing for the first time. By Street Magician and is out of the A Pecoraro stable. Respect any positive move in betting. HOPEYGOT (5) is a well bred three-year-old gelding on debut. By Hoppertunity from Egot who has produced plenty of winners. Comes from a stable which has an impressive strike rate with the first-starters. Looks set to make a positive start to his career despite a difficult barrier.
