Delaware Park Race 12 - Race 12 - Mdn Special Weight
SOUND BITE (3) remains a maiden after four starts. Finished fourth last start over 1609m at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf), beaten 8 lengths. Drawn to enjoy a nice trail just off the pace. Will play a major role. SLOBBERKNOCKER (1) made progress last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1673m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to take this out. SCANNER (9) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 5 lengths from the winner in sixth at Laurel Turf (Turf) over 1609m. Comes into calculations. PRACTICAL JOKER (4) returns after six-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a seventh over 1609m at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf). Rates highly on best form and should be in the mix.
