Delta Downs Race 9 - Race 9 - Allowance Optional Claiming
HAY JUDE (5) returns from a spell of seven months and did score first-up when last in work at this track (Dirt) over 1308m. Lines up for the first time for the Kinnon Larose stable. Hard to beat despite the layoff. MR MCGREGOR (3) went forward last start over 1609m at Evangeline Downs Turf (Turf) and held on well for second, beaten one length. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. SWEET FANTASY (7) pushed forward and was a determined winner by 1.3 lengths over 1106m at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) last time out. Is going well this campaign, recording a win and a minor placing from four starts. One of the main contenders. EYE WITNESS (9) was in contention on the bend and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1006m at Louisiana Downs Turf (Turf), beaten half a length. Finds a tougher race but a big run will not surprise.

Recent form sound. Returns from a 42-day let-up. Last start won by 1.3 len at Evangeline Downs on September 5 over 1106m defeating Cosmic Train with 55.5kg at $7.50. The run before that rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 8 at Evangeline Downs on August 15 over 1408m, 1.3 len behind Payne carrying 54.5kg at $16.50. Can get the job done again.

Returns from a 40-day let-up. At the latest run eased back early on 5th of 7 at Evangeline Downs Turf on September 7 over 1609m, 6 len behind Castle Island carrying 54.5kg at $10.50. Before that came from midfield and won by 1.3 len at Evangeline Downs on August 15 over 1408m defeating Sweet Fantasy carrying 54.5kg at $1.60. Will need to improve many lengths to feature.

Second run back. First-up after three months 3rd in a small field at Louisiana Downs Turf on September 16 over 1006m, 0.5 len behind Saturday's Gold carrying 55.5kg at $1.50. Previously second-up eased back early on 5th of 7 at Turfway Park on March 4 over 1308m, 4.5 len behind Dr Saikali carrying 56kg at $9.61. One of the top chances.

Comes off a 43 day let-up. Last start ran second last of 10 at Evangeline Downs Turf on September 4 over 1609m, 13 len behind Lammas carrying 54.5kg at $14.90. The run before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at Evangeline Downs on August 15 over 1408m, 3 len behind Payne with 55.5kg at $10.30. Better off investing elsewhere.

Comes here off a 51-day let-up. Last start 4th in a small field at Evangeline Downs Turf on August 27 over 1609m, 9 len behind Sabi carrying 54.5kg at $8.10. The race before that won by 0.5 len at Evangeline Downs on August 14 over 1207m defeating Flashy Lover with 54.5kg at $4.10. Win doesn't look likely.
