Delaware Park Race 6 - Race 6 - Maiden Special Weight
IRISH JIG (3) sets the standard after a debut 2nd at Laurel Park over 1207m, beaten 1.3L, and draws well again. DREAM EAGLE (1) is a key chance back to this trip after finishing 3rd at Oaklawn Park over 1207m, beaten 4.8L, and has a prior mile placing. MEDIUM COOL (7) can give a sight dropping back in distance after leading and holding 3rd at Turfway Park over 1609m, beaten 1.1L. RED BEACH (5) needs improvement off a Keeneland debut but stays in Maiden Special Weight grade.
