Delaware Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Starter Optional Claiming

AS THE BELL TOLES (4) scored by 8 lengths last start at this track (Dirt) over 1673m after she was in the firing line on the bend. Has a very good record over today's journey with two wins from four starts. Should be prominent from the outset. Expected to be in the finish. AMERICAN SELECT (3) returns from a break of nine weeks. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a second over 1609m at this track. Finds the right race to launch another bright campaign. BACK WALL BANDIT (2) finished second two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 5.5 lengths as public elect over 1673m at this track (Dirt). Stepping up a level this time but on current form she is capable of another big performance. YES PICNIC (1) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at Parx (Dirt), most recently beaten 4 lengths into third over 1408m at Parx (Dirt). Likely to be about the mark again.

Form hard to fault. Last start 3rd of 11 at Parx on August 18 over 1408m, 4 len behind Maximus Angelicus with 53kg at $4.80. The run before that 2nd in a small field at this track on July 21 over 1609m, 6 len behind Violet's Charm carrying 54kg at $2.50. Sure to be competitive with so few opponents.

Racing well recently. Most recently 4th of 11 at Parx on August 18 over 1408m, 10 len behind Maximus Angelicus with 54.5kg at $27.90. The race before that scored a big 5 len win at Penn National on July 24 over 1609m defeating Niecey carrying 54.5kg at $2.30. Beaten comfortably last time out but this suits.
