Delaware Park Race 6 - Race 6 - Starter Optional Claiming
TRY TO MAKE CENTS (6) was a winner over 1609m at Penn National (Dirt) last time, racing on the pace before getting the upper hand and scoring by 0.3 lengths. Sound record at this distance with three wins and seven minor placings from 12 runs and should prove tough to beat. AGGREGATION (1) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1609m at Penn National (Dirt). Can improve enough to win this. EMBRACE MY UNCLE (2) has been in good form, scoring three back at this track (Dirt) then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing third when he was in the firing line all the way over 1673m at this track (Dirt). Has the class to find the winners' list. FROSTY THE GIANT (5) made progress last time out, finishing 7 lengths from the winner in third over 1710m at Monmouth Park. Looks to be in the right race so he should be in contention again.

The run before that 3rd in a small field at Penn National on July 8 over 1673m, 1.5 len behind Brindano with 55kg at $3.40. Hard to beat again.

Comes here off a 29-day let-up. At the latest run 2nd in a small field at Penn National on August 7 over 1673m, 12 len behind Mr Ripple with 55kg at $3.80. Before that ran second last in a small field at Penn National on July 7 over 1673m, 4 len behind Sunday Spirit with 55kg at $2. Hard to envisage a win today.
