Delaware Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
TWELVE NELSON (1) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 3 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from four starts. Leading player again. RISK FACTOR (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths into fourth after being in the firing line on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. BATTLE WARRIOR (5) did little and finished 14 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1207m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his sixth at Tampa Bay Downs the run before. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he can find the winners' list. FEDERAL EXCHANGE (7) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Likely improver with strong prospects.

Recent form sound. Most recently won by 3 len at this track May 13 over 1207m defeating Essentially Fast with 56.5kg at $2.30. Before that won by a nose at Laurel April 11 over 1207m defeating Railroad Inn carrying 55.5kg at $2.60. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.

At the latest run second last of 7 at Parx on May 18 over 1106m, 14 len behind Star Man Bob with 55.5kg at $3.70. The start before that 2nd of 7 at Parx on April 21 over 1308m, 4 len behind Mr Mendelssohn with 52kg at $3. Cannot be ruled out despite a lacklustre effort last time.
