Delta Downs Race 9 - 5F Stakes
STRAY LIGHTNING (3) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just half a length from the winner in second over 1006m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. PRISCILLA ROSE (2) is yet to break through in three runs. Finished seventh at his last appearance over 1006m at this track (Dirt) on January 30. This offers him a great chance of breaking through. HOWIEWIN (10) is a two-start maiden who was unplaced on debut then improved to finish third last time over 1006m at this track (Dirt), beaten 0.8 lengths. Big chance to break through. EL AVION (7) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 9 lengths. Deserves another chance.

At the latest run second last of 8 at this track on January 30 over 1006m, 12 len behind Double Salty with 55kg at $34.60. The run before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 7 at this track on January 17 over 1006m, 4 len behind Awesome Magic with 53.5kg at $7.70. Nicely drawn and should prove hard to beat.
