Delta Downs Race 9 - 5F Stakes
DOUBLE SALTY (3) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 3 lengths over 1006m at this track (Dirt). Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and he is a leading contender. AWESOME HAWAIIAN (6) opened this campaign last start with a third, beaten 11 lengths, over 1207m at Fairgrounds. Leading contender. DOUBLE DEALS (1) finished fourth last time out over 1408m at this track, beaten 12 lengths. Hard to knock. IMPERIAL CRUISER (2) resumes after a break of three months. Looking to emulate his debut win over 1006m at this track to kick off last prep. Sure to make his presence felt.

Last start won by 3 len at this track January 30 over 1006m defeating Crimson Red Road with 55kg at $7.50. Going well enough to take this out.

Second-up. Promising on debut won by 2 len at Churchill Downs November 12 over 1207m defeating Romantic Ride with 54kg at $1.75. Went for a break before returning 3rd of 8 at Fairgrounds on January 18 over 1207m, 11 len behind Creole Chrome carrying 54kg at $4.50. Improver with winning prospects.
