Delta Downs Race 7 - Race 7 - Starter Allowance

CHARCO (2) was sent out favourite last time and was not far from the winner when third over 805m at this track (Dirt) after he was handy all the way. Boasts four wins at this distance. The testing material. EL ROJO VIVO (7) is in top form with two wins on end, the most recent an effortless 2.5 lengths victory over 1106m at Prairie Meadows (Dirt) seven weeks ago. Has a formidable combination with A Birzer who has been aboard for his last two wins. Leading contender. SEASONAL LOVE (3) was a placegetter on dirt over 1106m at Delaware Park two back but missed the frame on turf over 1006m at Meadowlands last time. Reunites with T Pompell which is a proven winning combination. Should be involved in the finish. HOLY STICK (1) turned things around last start and got the job done by one length over 1106m at Gulfstream Park (Dirt). Solid top-three prospects.

Form hard to fault. Most recently came from midfield and won by 1.0 len at Gulfstream Park on October 24 over 1106m defeating Kinetic Stone with 56kg at $8.70. The race before that from last on the turn 4th of 7 at Gulfstream Park on October 4 over 1207m, 3 len behind Chaplin carrying 56kg at $6.30. Impressive win last start and is in the mix again.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 35-day let-up. Most recently held ground to the line 3rd of 7 at this track on October 9 over 805m, 0.4 len behind Straight Luck with 53kg at $3.30. Before that ran on from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Evangeline Downs Turf on September 4 over 1006m, 2 len behind Briterdayzahead with 53kg at $5.70. Doesn't need to improve much to salute.
