Delaware Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Starter Optional Claiming
SPECIALAGENTJONSON (3) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then did a good job last start but found one better over 1811m at this track, beaten only half a length after being in contention on the turn. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. ALRASIKH (5) built on a nice third two starts back at this track (Turf) with a win as public elect over 1609m at this track (Turf) five-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 4 lengths. Jose A Batista scored on him last time and retains the mount. Taking on a better field but he is good enough to figure in the finish. WEST MOUNTAIN (8) finished 11 lengths behind the winner in eighth over 1609m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf (Turf) last start after lifting strongly to score two runs back. Jeiron Barbosa who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Expected to measure up. MAJESTIC BLUE (1) finished third two runs back at Laurel (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 5 lengths over 1811m at Laurel Turf (Turf). Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake.
