Delta Downs Race 7 - 5F Stakes
STORM AFTER DARK (6) impressed when successful on debut over 1006m at this track (Dirt) three-and-a-half weeks ago. Promising type who can go back-to-back. HINT OF PROMISE (5) disappointed when 10 lengths back in eighth last time over 1006m at this track (Dirt). Kept fresh for this. Capable of a lot more. BELLA BLU MOON (3) opened this campaign last start with a fourth, beaten 5 lengths, over 1207m at Sam Houston Park. Senior rider aboard this time. One of the key chances. ECHO JULIET (1) debuted with a win then was not as effective last time out when fourth over 1509m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Best figures measure up so deserves another chance.
