Delaware Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Starter Optional Claiming
IRONSIDES (5) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 1710m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf (Turf), getting home by half a length. This doesn't look as hard so he is all set to add to the picket fence. KITTEN'S PLOY (4) lifted strongly to salute by 0.3 lengths three runs back at Penn National Turf (Turf) before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will give a great sight. CLOUD MUSIC (8) scored a commanding victory at this track (Turf) over 1509m at his latest appearance on June 20. Yet to miss the placings here in an excellent record which boasts three wins and one placing. Can make his presence felt. SKY'S NOT FALLING (3) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1609m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf, beaten just one length. Likely to hold the form and is a strong top-three prospect.

Comes here off a 37-day let-up. At the latest run 8th of 10 at this track on August 13 over 1710m, 8 len behind Ennis Town carrying 54.5kg at $72.60. Before that won by a 0.3 len at Penn National Turf on July 22 over 1710m defeating Tallahatchiebridge with 55kg at $3.80. Not keen.

Comes here off a 36-day let-up. Most recently 4th in a small field at Monmouth Park Turf on August 14 over 1710m, 3 len behind Mo Action carrying 54.5kg at $30.50. The race before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 2 len at Monmouth Park Turf on June 20 over 1710m defeating Gaborone carrying 54kg at $16.50. Preferred in something easier.

Last start made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 8 at Monmouth Park Turf on August 30 over 1609m, 4.5 len behind Thorsness with 56.5kg at $2.40. Before that held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at Monmouth Park Turf on August 8 over 1710m, 0.5 len behind Magical Marriage carrying 56.5kg at $3.90. Win doesn't look likely.
