Delta Downs Race 9 - 5F Stakes
OUR FAVORITE SON (10) is racing well. Scored at this track (Dirt) two back then finished second, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 1006m at this track (Dirt) at the latest appearance two-and-a-half weeks ago. Should be poised just off the lead. Best form puts him right in this. OCEAN JACKPOT (6) went fast early and went on to score by one length last time out over 1006m at this track (Dirt). Will enjoy a drop in class so he is sure to be right there at the finish. PERFECT EDGE (1) is a distance specialist who finished eighth when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1308m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths after being in contention on the corner. T Pompell gets the best out of this six-year-old gelding. Perfectly placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. STAYED IN FOR HALF (11) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1006m at Sam Houston Park, beaten 4 lengths. Fitter so expect a better run this time.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up 2nd in a small field at this track on January 7 over 1006m, 3.5 len behind Tussling Charlie with 54.5kg at $4.90. Last start second last in a small field at this track on January 28 over 1006m, 8 len behind Celtic Pride with 53kg at $3.10. Better than that recent plain performance suggests.
