Delaware Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Starter Optional Claiming

MAD BANKER (7) improved sharply on his sixth two starts back at Aqueduct (Dirt) with success as favourite over 1673m at this track (Dirt) a week-and-a-half ago, getting home by 2.25 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. MCCRAKENS GHOST (6) returned from a spell two-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 6 lengths into fourth over 1609m at Parx. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is good enough to play a major role. ESCAPE KEY (4) got the prize two runs ago at Tampa Bay Downs. Safely held last time out when fifth over 1710m at Delaware Park Turf, beaten 9 lengths. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. EMBRACE MY UNCLE (1) finished eighth two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1609m at this track, beaten only 0.1 lengths. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
