Delaware Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Claiming
BODINE (6) appeals off a debut 4th at Delaware Park over 1106m, beaten 1.3L after getting back, and the rise to 1207m looks suitable. MRSALTN'VINEGAR (3) was 4th here last time over 1106m, beaten 5.6L after sitting handy, and stays in similar company. OPPORTUNE NOTION (4) has run two 4ths at this track over 1207m, most recently beaten 4.1L, and maps to be on speed again. ANDERMAN (5) drops back from tougher New York company after a 1408m placing two starts ago.
