Delta Downs Race 2 - 7 1/2F Stakes

READY TO PURRFORM (1) was a big improver when second-up from a break last start, scoring by a nose at his first run on a dirt track over 1308m at this track. Right in this. RISING EMPIRE (7) returns from a spell of ten months and did win first-up last time in work over 1609m at Fairgrounds (Turf). Makes plenty of appeal. GREAT ESCAPE (2) tackled stakes class last time out on August 24 and was well fancied but could only manage sixth over 2012m at Listed level at Century Mile. Goes well over this trip, filling a placing at all six starts, including a win and is one of the prime contenders. IRON IN THE FIRE (4) turned things around last start and scored by 3 lengths over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect another big run.
