Delta Downs Race 6 - 7F Stakes
TOP NOTCH PROTOCOL (6) made progress last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1609m at Fairgrounds after being in the firing line on the turn. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. DEELITESANDIMSUM (5) stuck on well last start to finish second over 1609m at this track (Dirt) after showing good early speed. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. BERNDT MARSHMALLOW (1) finished out of the money two starts back then he was always well out of his ground and was beaten 9 lengths when fourth in a 1006m contest at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. NATHAN HENRY (2) is back after a break of 12 weeks. At the last run before the layoff he finished eighth over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Has ability and is worth including.
