Delaware Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Starter Allowance
STRIKING SPARKS (9) made it two wins in succession last start when he scored by 1.3 lengths over 1673m at Parx (Dirt). Winning rider Jesus M Rios retains the mount. Has the class to add to the winning sequence. MASAKADO (8) raced on the speed and kept going to score by 0.3 lengths last time out over 1609m at Colonial Downs (Dirt). Faces an easier assignment so he is a major player. STONE COLD FLEX (11) just missed last time when a neck away in third at Colonial Downs (Dirt) over 1609m. Should be in the finish again. ADMIRAL MO (2) lifted strongly to score by 0.3 lengths three runs back at Monmouth Park (Dirt) before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Should be prominent from the outset. Not to be discounted.

Most recently ran second last in a small field at Colonial Downs on August 15 over 1609m, 2.5 len behind Hittheroadjak carrying 56kg at $6.10. The race before that ran last in a small field at Colonial Downs on July 13 over 1408m, 11 len behind Zero Blitz carrying 55.5kg at $13. Likely to run around at long odds and deservedly so.

Form hard to fault. Last start came from midfield and won by 1.3 len at Parx on August 15 over 1673m defeating Lost And Confused carrying 56.5kg at $10.30. The race before that came from midfield and scored a big 4 len win at this track on August 6 over 1609m in heavy going defeating Grouch with 51.5kg at $3.90. Has the right credentials.
