Delaware Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Starter Optional Claiming
KERNESS K (2) has scored at his last six starts, most recently by 0.3 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with seven wins from 11 runs. Can measure up again. JUST RELAX (5) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 2.75 lengths at Monmouth Park (Dirt) over 1207m. Sure to take some stopping again. TRIPLE PASS (3) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fourth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). This is a nice drop in grade so he is a major player. RAD PAISLEY (4) scored a commanding victory at this track (Dirt) over 1207m at his latest appearance on September 10. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.

Recent form sound. At the latest run ran on from midfield and won by a 0.3 len at this track June 11 over 1207m defeating Risk Factor with 55.5kg at $5.20. Before that 3rd in a small field at this track on May 30 over 1106m, 3 len behind My Man Woody carrying 55.5kg at $12.10. Few opponents and worth keeping safe.
