Delaware Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Claiming
HARD FREEZE (3) finished second last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt) to make it three minor placings from four runs. Yet to miss the top-three in two runs at this course. Among the top chances. FORTUNE HILL (6) impressed last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 2 lengths from the winner in second over 1106m at Laurel Turf after being in the firing line on the bend. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. OPPORTUNE NOTION (1) raced on the pace when resuming last start and lifted strongly to hold second, beaten 3 lengths, over today's journey at this track (Dirt). Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he cannot be underestimated. READY AND ABLE (5) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1207m at Sam Houston Park. Has found the right race and is worth including.

Four-year-old colt by Runhappy out of Cherished Prize who has taken a long time to make it to the track. This looks a tricky race for him.
