Delaware Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Starter Optional Claiming
KERNESS K (5) has scored at his last eight starts, most recently by 7 lengths over 1207m at Parx (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with nine wins from 13 outings. Sure to go well again. SILVER SLUGGER (2) disappointed last time when fifth over 1207m in stakes class at Monmouth Park (Dirt) after a close second at this track (Dirt) the run prior. Coming back in trip suits so should prove tough to beat. MY MAN WOODY (4) ran below expectations last time at Monmouth Park (Dirt) over 1207m, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths. Has a win and two minor placings from four starts at this track and distance. Winning claims on best figures. CYBERBEAST (7) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. Something for the Multiples: DAUFUSKIE ISLAND (3)
