Delta Downs Race 5 - 7 1/2F Stakes
UNLAWFUL (3) has been in the money five times including last start on January 21 when second over 1509m at this track (Dirt). Has been in the top-three at all five runs at this circuit. Looks ready for that breakthrough win. CARDINAL CUSHING (1) has started twice, running a good third on debut then finishing fifth, beaten 7 lengths, last time over 1006m at this track (Dirt). Should be handy in the run. Expected to prove tough to beat. CAPTAIN BLOOD (5) finished third, beaten 4 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Taking on a better line-up this time but he cannot be underestimated. PERFECT SAINT (4) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Brett Brinkman. By Cupid from Purrfect Diva. Top-three chance.

Three-year-old colt (Cupid - Purrfect Diva) making his debut. A bold showing is likely.
