Delta Downs Race 2 - 5F Stakes

HE'S JUST LUCKY (5) is unbeaten this campaign after two appearances, the latest win coming over 1207m at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Strongly fancied last time and looks tough to beat again. MARKS PROMISE (2) is going well, scoring by 10 lengths two runs back at this track (Dirt) before finishing fourth last time over 1006m at this track (Dirt). Has a good record here at this journey with two wins and a minor placing from four starts. Likely to feature. DOCTORED DEAL (6) improved last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1308m at this track after being in contention on the corner. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. STRONG PROMISE (7) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at this track (Dirt) over 1006m after being prominent at the turn. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the key runners.
