Delaware Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Claiming
HAPPY ENCOUNTER (7) is closing in on a win after two consecutive minor placings, the latest when third over 1207m at Laurel (Dirt). Blinkers added in a positive sign from the stable. DONCELLA (4) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing third last time when she was in the firing line all the way over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Beautifully placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. TUVANA (3) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then she settled well back and was beaten 25 lengths when seventh over 1207m at Laurel a week-and-a-half ago. Has the class to take this out. MISSELEANOR (1) finished 16 lengths away in sixth at her last appearance over 1207m at this track (Dirt) on September 23. Worth including in this suitable contest.
