Delta Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Special Weight
CINCO BLAKE (3) returns after 11 weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a sixth over 1408m at Arapahoe Park (Dirt). Looks the one to beat. LA NORME DE JOUR (2) resumes from a spell of seven months. Could only manage to finish ninth at the latest run over 1207m at Fairgrounds (Dirt). No surprise if he was able to get off the mark. DAWSON JAMES (7) was never in contention when 12 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1609m at Louisiana Downs Turf last start, a less impressive effort than his first-up fifth at Evangeline Downs Turf the run before. Meets a stronger field but he is worth another chance. DONEGAL NOW (8) closed last prep nine weeks ago when he finished fifth over 1408m at Evangeline Downs. One of the better chances.

This Mr Money gelding is a four-year-old having his first start. This looks a tricky race for him.
