Delta Downs Race 5 - 5F Stakes
JALAPENA LENA (3) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in third over 1106m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt). Will be very hard to beat with that run under the belt. GOLDEN KEEN (8) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of ten weeks, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Has ability and is a solid chance. REGAL TIME (2) is a two-start maiden who placed on debut then could only manage seventh last start, beaten 10 lengths over 1006m at this track (Dirt). Strong figure from the debut is the right form reference. AUTHENTIC QUEEN (4) is a three-year-old filly facing the starter for the first time. From an elite family that includes black type success, being by Authentic from Marketplace. Promising type who is sure to be well-found in betting.
