Delaware Park Race 12 - Race 12 - Mdn Special Weight
SOUNDBITE (3) Ran 4th last time at Gulfstream Park. Has the ability to turn things around. Expecting to settle positively. Jaime Rodriguez rates highly aboard. Serious player. ROAD RUNNER (7) Career debut 3yo by Quality Road for Michael Stidham. Respect the betting. STRING QUARTET (6) Mendelssohn 3yo trained by H Graham Motion having first race appearance. Follow the money. PRACTICAL JOKER (4) Back from a 28 week break. Came in 7th last start at Fair Grounds. Should improve from the last run. Right in this.

Jumped at $7.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 5th last run at this track but was on debut last time. Has plenty of early speed. Has a good draw. Can't leave out of your calculations.

Was $6.50 and finished 6th last run at Laurel Park but was a debutant last start. Should be rolling forward early from the wide draw. Looks hopeful.
