Delaware Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Claiming
BLUES MUSIC (4) brings the clearest recent platform after a strong 2nd at Delaware Park over 1106m last start, running on from back in the field and now stretching to 1609m. GOLDEN ELLIE (1) was 3rd in the same race, 2.5L behind, and maps to get every chance from barrier 1. LIGHTEN (6) is a key chance off a 3rd at Laurel Park over 1106m, while WATCH ME SPARKLE (2) has multiple mile placings this season and adds blinkers. Leading hopes: BLUES MUSIC (4), GOLDEN ELLIE (1), LIGHTEN (6), WATCH ME SPARKLE (2).
