Delaware Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Claiming
GALLANT CREEK (3) brings the sharpest recent figures, runner-up over 1006m at Finger Lakes 12 days ago after a close 3rd at Charles Town, and the slight rise in trip suits. FAROOQ (5) has the 1106m platform with a 2nd at Laurel Park last October and wasn’t far off in two December runs at 1207m. MAGIC BAY (4) showed speed when leading for much of 1207m at Parx last start before fading and can give a sight back to 1106m. Rickie’s Kin (1) drops from Tampa Bay maiden special weights and draws the rail, which could help in the heavy going.
