Delta Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Claiming
JOKING AROUND (8) is yet to break through after four career starts. Could only manage to finish ninth last time out over 1106m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) following a minor placing at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) over 1006m the run prior. This looks her chance to break through. WATCH ME I'M READY (4) made her debut last start and was just fair in finishing seventh at Louisiana Downs (Dirt) over 1006m, beaten 6 lengths. Anticipating sharp improvement with the run under the belt. SEE A LADY (1) is a talented filly who tackled a tougher race at her last run on July 11 and finished ninth behind Dancin On The Edge over 1006m in stakes class at Lone Star Park (Dirt). Among the chances on her best figures. ENTICING SPIRIT (2) didn't do a lot on debut four weeks ago, finishing 15 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1106m at Louisiana Downs (Dirt). Plenty of scope for improvement. Must be respected.

Resuming after a three-and-a-half months break. Not seen since she finished last of 9 at Lone Star Park in the LR July 11 over 1006m, 22 len behind Dancin On The Edge with 54.5kg at $20.50. On debut fifth of 11 at Lone Star Park June 14 over 1006m, 14 len behind Caroline's Girl carrying 54kg at $23.90. Has the talent to take this out.
