Delta Downs Race 8 - 4f Hcap
EXPLOSIVE LEGEND (6) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish third over 796m at this track (Dirt) at his latest appearance. Form here at this trip is sound. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will prove tough to beat. ONE FAST CAJUN (1) did a great job to score by a nose over this course and distance when resuming from a break last time out. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of another big performance. POWER OF THE SMILE (2) resumed over 796m at this track (Dirt) last start where he drifted back early and didn't threaten, finishing eighth. Has been in the money at each second up start. Expected to feature. SNOW BOUND (5) scored last start at this track (Dirt) to make it two wins from four starts this campaign. Going well and must be respected.
