Delaware Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
REPPAZZ (1) Peaked on the run when 2nd last run here and can save some energy from the draw. Will be positive in the run early. In the mix. ENDORSE (7) Resumes after a 45 week break. Ran a solid race on the speed before weakening to finish 2nd beaten by 1L last time at Saratoga. Change in trainer. Looks to be value. VOLUNTARY (9) In the money when 3rd last time at this venue. Displays good tactical speed. Jockey Julio A Hernandez and trainer Michael R Matz make an imposing pair. Expect to go close. BLOND ROAST (5) 4yo debutant sired by Medaglia D'oro for trainer Michael Stidham. Betting is the best guide.

Despite peaking on the run still placed 2nd beaten by 2L last run at this venue and drawn well. Should muster plenty of early speed. Should go very close.

Resuming after a break. Odds of $7.50 and weakened to finish 5th last time at Turf Paradise but has a good draw. Expecting to settle positively. Can't entertain a bet.

Started $6.00 and made ground when closing off to finish 4th last time at this venue and was on debut last time. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Struggle to recommend.

Jumped at $14.00 and faded away to finish 6th last start at Monmouth Park. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Would not recommend.

Nice run when 3rd last time at this venue. Has early speed and positions nicely. Julio A Hernandez and Michael R Matz must be respected together. Good chance in this.
