DELAWARE PARK Race #1 at 1:15 PM Eastern


Top pick: #7 (LIGER) - Runs first off a Scott Lake claim and that's always a nice winning angle (27%). Doesn't have much speed but he's faced better his whole career. Claimed out of his best effort since last fall, they may have gotten him at the right time.
2nd pick: #3 (James Wilfred) - Makes his first start outside of Florida and brings a nice closing kick to the party. Goes from a very low percentage barn to that of Steve Klesaris. Stretch threat.
3rd pick: #2 (Fayregammo) - Colt returns from a very long absence (16 months) and has a lot of back class. He's in a good barn (Larry Jones) and his works are solid. He faces other speed but his back class and the drop into a claimer makes him very dangerous.

DELAWARE PARK Race #5 at 3:05 PM Eastern

Top pick: #2 (UNSTOPPABLE FORCE) - Races today at a career low in price. "Ridgling" has many solid tries vs. tougher over the past year and will stretch-out again today off a pair of sprint efforts at Philly Park. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Nicut Coyote) - Gelding has been showing some life (more speed) in his last pair and his trainer (Ron Moquette) will send him around two-turns today. Gelding by "Fusaici Pegasus" is bred for the extra distance and believe he'll run well.
3rd pick: #1 (Across) - Interesting runner goes turf to dirt and his last pair at Colonial have shown a lot of improvement. Has the rail, is in a good barn (Graham Motion) and is a win candidate.

DELAWARE PARK Race #7 at 3:55 PM Eastern

Top pick: #6 (CHEROKEE EMPIRE) - Has good speed, is improving, and his trainer (Graham Motion) will send him around two-turns this afternoon. Colt is bred for the distance and has a sharp work on August 15. The top pick.
2nd pick: #4 (Our Commander) - Gelding showed major improvement in his second start and his last two works at his home-base of Laurel are very fast. His trainer (Gary Capuano) is strong on the stretch-out move (31%).
3rd pick: #5 (Hudson Steele) - Decent debut saw this colt from the Pletcher barn race wide and finished with interest. Trainer won a two-year-old race earlier in the meet with a runner being sent around two-turns for the first time.
4th pick: #1 (Mr. Bristol) - He closed in his debut sprinting and colt by "Gone West" will try his luck going an extra 2 1/2 furlongs today. His trainer (Neil Howard) has always specialized in distance racing.

DELAWARE PARK Race #8 at 4:25 PM Eastern

Top pick: #1 (TAKE DOWN TWO) - Front-runner "dueld" and tired here July 28 in his first race in two months. Claimed that day for $12,500 by Shelliane Brown she runs him back in less than three weeks with a slight raise in price. Has ths rail and the best speed. The top pick, and at a nice price.
2nd pick: #6 (On Deck) - One of a pair of three-year-olds signed-up and he appears to be the more talented one. Gelding by "Grand Slam" broke his maiden at Tampa on December 31 and did not run again until July 7. He showed some good late kick that day and will attempt a two-turn race for the first time today. Nice works are on view. Major player.
3rd pick: #2 (Ferentz) - He's improved dramatically since a claim by Cody Autry in mid-January at the Fair Grounds. Has a flexible style and he's a win candidate.
4th pick: #4 (Biohazzard) - Has some late kick and has raced against some tough fields of late. Player in the exotics at a square price.
