Delaware Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Starter Optional Claiming
GREAT QUALITY (3) Resuming after a 34 week spell. Ran well when 2nd last start here. Will be positive in the run early. Large claim helps. Every chance today. BOYD'S BAND (1) First up after a 35 week break. Charged home to win last start at this venue and will appreciate a good gate. First race for a new trainer. Respect against this field. BEN'S HERO (4) Back from a break. Came on strongly to finish 3rd when beaten by nearly 7L last start at Colonial Downs. Jaime Rodriguez is a key engagement. Worth strong consideration. LOU'S BIRTHDAY (7) Ran 6th last time at Laurel Park. Likely to be well placed early. The large claim from Yedsit Hazlewood helps. Solid place bet prospects. Something for the Multiples: GRIM REAPER (5)
