Delaware Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Claiming
STARMETAL (10) is a eight-start maiden who was in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second at the latest appearance over 1673m at this track (Turf). Nicely placed and gets his chance. QUAIN (2) is yet to break through after six starts but not far off a win. Placed two back then missed the frame but was thereabouts last time over 1509m at this track (Turf). Well placed and gets his chance to break through. DAW SAMAA (4) is a 14-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at his latest appearance over 1207m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf) after he gave away a big start. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. BOTH SIDES OF BAD (8) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.3 lengths from the winner in second over 1811m at Delaware Park. Looks to be in the right race so another bold effort is on the cards.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, eased back early on ran second last in a small field at Delaware Park on June 24 over 1207m, 8 len behind Ready And Able with 56kg at $3.90. Second-up tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd in a small field at Delaware Park on July 22 over 1673m, nose behind Hotter Than Dem with 56kg at $1.90. Capable of a strong showing.
