Delta Downs Race 9 - 1M Hcap
SECRET FAITH (1) finished 2.25 lengths back in second in stakes company last time over 1207m at Listed level at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Did win two back by half a length in stakes class at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Expecting a bold showing. SUPA SPEED (7) tackled the over 1710m at Gulfstream Park last time out when fresh from a spell and was beaten 6 lengths into seventh by Destino D'oro. Can play a big role in this company. RISING INFLATION (4) has five wins and one placing from seven races this campaign. Found one better last start at Fairgrounds (Dirt) over 1673m after being racing in the leading division. Taking on a better line-up this time but she deserves her chance. KALIL (5) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by 4 lengths over 1609m at Fairgrounds (Turf). Nicely placed to keep the ball rolling.
