Delaware Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Starter Optional Claiming
HUMORESQUE (2) fought on well to finish second last start over 1207m at Penn National (Dirt), beaten half a length as favourite. Finds an easier assignment and can find winning ways. FORMAGGIO (3) has switched yards since finishing fourth six-and-a-half weeks ago over 1408m at Keeneland. Rates highly so expect her to be prominent. JAVA TALES (6) was impressive last time at Penn National (Dirt), scoring by 2.75 lengths over this trip. Should camp just off the leaders. Will give backers a great sight. MISS IDA B (1) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by 0.1 lengths over 1207m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Has her share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 2nd in a small field at Penn National on May 1 over 1207m, 0.5 len behind Warrior's Miss with 54.5kg at $2.20. The run before that 2nd in a small field at Penn National on April 1 over 1207m, 1.75 len behind Joyous Song with 54.5kg at $3.60. Strong effort last time and looks a leading hope.

Resuming after a eight months break. Not seen since winning by 0.3 len this track October 4 over 1207m defeating J Candy with 53kg at $4.30. On debut to post a big 4 len win. This track August 8 over 1006m defeating Run Chachy Run carrying 54kg at $8.80. Look for a bold run.
