Delta Downs Race 9 - 1 1/2F Stakes
THA EMPRESS (1) brings the best exposed form after a close 3rd at Louisiana Downs over 302m, beaten 0.6L, and can capitalize from the inside draw with blinkers on. POLITICAL IVORY (6) was 4th on debut at Louisiana Downs over 201m and steps to 274m with blinkers added, which can help. SHESAINNOCENTPILOTO (5) was 4th in a 274m Futurity Trial on wet-fast ground and stays to the trip. Others are debuting or unexposed, so the proven trio sets the standard.
