Delaware Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
SO SO (1) returns from a layoff of ten weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1673m at Delaware Park Turf. Rates highly and should take some beating. REAL MEN VIOLIN (2) made progress last time out, finishing 8 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1673m at this track after being in contention on the corner. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. DAYTONA MOONSHINE (5) was well in commission last time out but could only manage to finish fifth over 1710m at this track (Dirt) in a disappointing performance. Finds the right race this time and can turn things around. TACTICS (6) was beaten 8 lengths into fourth over 1710m at this track last time out. Nicely placed to find some form.

Finished off last preparation third in a small field at Monmouth Park May 9 over 1710m, 0.8 len behind Duck Duck Goose carrying 55kg at $2.40. First up last campaign third of 10 at Delaware Park Turf October 18 over 1673m, 2.5 len behind Kitten's Ploy carrying 54.5kg at $7.60. Expect a forward showing.

Comes off a 39 day let-up. Most recently ran last in a small field at Laurel on June 6 over 1609m, 16 len behind Lookin At Mac with 55.5kg at $16.80. The race before that ran second last in a small field at Laurel on May 1 over 1710m, 11 len behind Blue Kingdom carrying 56kg at $44.50. Can do a lot better than that last run.
