Delaware Park Race 8 - Kent S. Stakes
MCCREADY (3) First up after a break. Assumed control from the start when winning by a head last start at Keeneland and going down in class. Winning hope. CHICKEN DANCE (8) Ran on hard when winning last time at Gulfstream Park but matched against tougher rivals. Unbeaten last 2 attempts. No shock to see a win. TURF STAR (5) Rounded them up when winning last time at Laurel Park. Has plenty of early speed. Jorge Ruiz and H Graham Motion deserve serious attention as a team. Can measure up to this company. ZEPPELIN (4) Came on strongly when 3rd beaten by more than 3L last time at Churchill Downs and showing consistent performance in races. Producing consistent results this preparation. Should get going late. Solid place bet prospects.

Finished with purpose when winning last start at this venue and will try to take advantage of the barrier. Won last 2 on the trot. Some hope in this event.

Back after a spell. Gave them all something to chase when winning by a head last start at Keeneland and will find this grade more suitable. Good career start. Will go close.

At $14.00 passed some rivals in the late stages when 5th last time at Churchill Downs but up against a more competitive field. Should jump out and bowl along. Not interested.

Odds of $23.00 and showed some merit late when 4th last run at Penn National and facing a weaker group of contenders. Hard to recommend.

Rocketed home when winning last time at Gulfstream Park but facing a stronger class. Can't knock the form winning 2 on the bounce. Good chance in this.

At $11.00 struggled with the pace when 6th last time Parx At Philadelphia and racing against tougher rivals. Should race on the speed. Have to respect the recent stable form. Low-key chance.
