Delta Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Claiming
SHRED IT UP (4) has registered two minor placings from three runs this campaign. Continued the trend at the most recent appearance when runner-up over 1006m at this track (Dirt) after he was always up in the leading division. Will enjoy the drop in grade so he is all set to build on recent results. DONEGAL NOW (8) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was beaten 6 lengths into fifth over 1006m at this track. Strips fitter and can make amends. CARRY THE FLAG (10) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at Gillespie County Fairground (Dirt) over 1106m on August 16. Has switched to the Donald Melancon yard. Makes plenty of appeal. H Q WILSON (7) finished eighth over 1710m at Del Mar (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on August 16. Has switched to the Henry B Jr Johnson yard. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.

Last start raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 9 at this track on October 24 over 1408m, 8 len behind Polar Wolf carrying 53kg at $47. Before that 3rd of 8 at Evangeline Downs on August 28 over 1408m, 5.5 len behind Syntagma with 52.5kg at $38.50. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
