Delaware Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Mdn Special Weight
DROP SHOT (6) last appeared three-and-a-half weeks ago over 1609m at Saratoga Inner Turf when he finished seventh. This is his first run for the Gregory D Sacco stable. Will prove tough to beat for the new barn. PRACTICAL JOKER (3) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1710m at this track (Turf). This is an easier assignment and can take this out. BLUES MUSIC (8) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing second last time when she was in the firing line all the way over 1609m at Delaware Park (Dirt). Must raise the bar but this looks well within her grasp. PURE OCTANE (1) ran a better race last time at his second career start when third over 1710m at this track (Turf). Fitter and looks one of the better chances.
