Delaware Park Race 5 - First State Dash S. Stakes
BEARING WITNESS (10) Set the pace to win by 9L last run around here but up in class. Paco Lopez adds value. Has the necessary speed to overcome the wide draw. Has to be strongly considered. MAD EYE'S HONOR (2) Dashed home to win last start at this venue and drawn nicely. Has not missed the money this campaign in 2 attempts but stepping up to a higher level. Goes close. WALT'S NOTION (6) Ran on hard when winning last run at the track and having second career run. Facing stiffer opposition. Can go on with it. WESTBOUND CAT (4) Ran away with a win by a margin of nearly 7L last start at this track but matched against tougher rivals. Coming back in distance. Don't overlook as is capable of a big run.

Nice effort when finishing 2nd beaten by 3 3/4L last start at Colonial Downs and drawn the rails. Jockey Jaime Rodriguez is in top form for this stable. Sound chance.

Picked up nicely to win last start here and has a positive draw. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign but up against stronger competition. Win will not surprise.

Started $8.50 and tailed off to finish 5th last run at this venue and rising in class. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Unlikely to feature.

Comprehensive victory when winning by nearly 7L last start at this track but will be down in distance. Yedsit Hazlewood rates highly but challenged by more formidable competitors. Watch the betting.

Was $16.00 and advanced late into 4th last time at Colonial Downs but competing in a higher grade. Jamie Ness stable are in good form of late. Needs a lot of luck to figure in the finish.

Good performance to run into 2nd last run around here and fitter for debut run. Coming to a new trainer but competing at a higher level of competition. Looking at others.

Controlled the speed when winning by 9L last run at this track but competing at a higher grade. More confidence with jockey Paco Lopez guiding the horse. Should go close.
