Delta Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming
PURSE THIEF (7) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at Prairie Meadows (Dirt) over 1207m after being prominent from the outset. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BIG COUNTRY BOY (8) stuck on well last start to finish second over 1207m at Louisiana Downs (Dirt) after showing good early speed. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the key runners. KING JULES (3) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by 0.3 lengths over 1006m at this track (Dirt). Winning rider Elio J Barrera sticks and he is one of the main chances. THAT'S APRIORITY (9) resumes in a similar race to his last run nine months ago when second, beaten 1.3 lengths. Can make his presence felt.

Resuming after a break of 11 weeks. Finished off last preparation sixth of 10 at Evangeline Downs Turf August 14 over 1006m, 6 len behind Max Collector with 55kg at $16.30. Previously first up; second in a small field at Evangeline Downs July 16 over 1006m, 6 len behind Key Man carrying 55kg at $7.50. This looks too tough.

Last start ran second last of 10 at this track on October 10 over 1408m, 10 len behind Von Erich with 54.5kg at $8.10. The run before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 9 at Evangeline Downs on August 31 over 1207m, 7 len behind Flashy Lover carrying 54.5kg at $50.60. Cannot be ruled out despite a plain effort last time.
