Delta Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Special Weight
CARLOS THE KID (7) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when second over 1006m at this track (Dirt) when he was prominent throughout. Likely improver with strong prospects. COUSIN MICHAEL (3) is a two-year-old gelding on debut. From an elite family that includes black type success, being by Mo Donegal from Miss Jazebel. Promising type who is worth considering if popular in betting. ESSENTIAL GEORGE (1) is facing the starter for the first time. By Nashville and comes from the Allen Landry stable. A good gate is sure to assist. Expect a bold run. SHOW ME MY MONEY (4) was solid on debut last start when beaten 11 lengths into fourth over 1308m at this track (Dirt) on October 17. In the mix.
