Delaware Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Starter Optional Claiming
DISTINCT (4) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 0.8 lengths away in second over 1609m at Penn National Turf (Turf). Nicely placed to feature in the finish. FRIDAYSWITHMURRAY (8) got well back over 1609m at Laurel (Dirt) last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 17 lengths away in fourth. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. SPECIALAGENTJONSON (1) lines up for the first time since April 4. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1710m at Tampa Bay Downs Turf. Sure to make his presence felt. FAIRFIELD BAY (3) produced a reasonable effort when third last start over 1710m at Delaware Park. That followed a win at Laurel the start prior. In the mix. Something for the Multiples: BATTLE WARRIOR (6)

Second run back. First-up after seven months tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 7 at Delaware Park on May 30 over 1710m, 4 len behind Try To Make Cents with 52kg at $9.80. Previously second-up ran last of 7 at Colonial Downs Turf on August 16 over 1106m, 7 len behind Jolly Boss with 55.5kg at $17.30. Unlikely to threaten.
