Delta Downs Race 8 - 6 1/2F Stakes

LAMBO (4) saluted at this track two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when prominent at the bend before finishing second over 1006m at this track, beaten a nose. Likely improver with strong prospects. SPECIAL DISPATCH (2) returns from a break of four-and-a-half months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 1673m at Fairmount Park. Nicely placed to kick off another successful campaign. PAYNTED BLUE (1) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second at this track (Dirt) two starts back then scored by 0.3 lengths as public elect last time out over 1006m at this track (Dirt). J Melancon scored on him last time and retains the ride. Likely to be in the finish again. JULIA'S WARRIOR (8) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1106m at Fairgrounds (Dirt), beaten 2 lengths. Should take a lot from that hit-out. Suitably placed so anticipating another strong effort.
