Delta Downs Race 2 - 4f Stakes
BUCKLE UP BLUE (8) lines up for the first time since March 26. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 704m at this track. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. SARAHSFREIGHTTRAIN (1) is coming off a last-start fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 704m at this track. Has a good record here at this journey with two wins from six starts. Well placed and should be tough to beat. BLUE CASTLE (5) finished third last start over 704m at this track (Dirt), beaten 3 lengths. Yet to miss the frame in four starts over this course and distance. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. FREAKIN PATRIOT DASH (6) has not won for a long while. Last raced on June 26 when beaten 5 lengths into fourth at this track (Dirt) over 796m after he got a long way back in the run. Well placed and can play a prominent role.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Not raced for 40 days. Resuming ran last of 8 at this track on May 21 over 796m, 11 len behind Bt Gameboy with 58kg at $38.20. Second run from a spell 2nd in a small field at this track on June 6 over 503m, 0.8 len behind Louie B Quick with 58kg at $16.80. Better off investing elsewhere.
