Delaware Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Starter Optional Claiming

LUCKY DUDE (6) brings strong recent form, winning an Allowance over 1609m at Parx by 2.5L on 27 Apr after a 2nd over 1308m, and looks the one to beat. MASAKADO (1) is a last‑start winner at Laurel Park over 1811m and had also scored there over 1710m prior, so the trip suits. WORK HARD (5) won by 3.3L over 1811m at Laurel on 4 Apr and had taken a 1710m Starter Optional Claiming in January, making him a key chance. EPIC LUCK (4) has back-to-back placings at Parx over 1674m, including a 3rd beaten 0.8L last time, and rates an each-way hope.
