Delta Downs Race 5 - 1 1/2f Stakes
SPECIAL MACHO MAN (2) Although being overrun still grabbed 3rd beaten by 1L last run at this track and promising career start. Arturo Alvarez and Jose Luis Sanchez Iii link well together. Warrants a bet. RIPP CURL GIRL (10) Riptide 2yo having first start for Gary Shane Mason. Watch the market moves. NECKEL BUX (4) 2yo debutant by Zoomin For Bux for trainer Danny Hoda. Follow the money. JESS GOLD HEART (1) Ran past a few when 5th last run at this venue and drawn well. One to watch and an each way chance.

Started at $20.00 and picked up some ground to run 5th last run at this track and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Watch for a sign in the market.

Was overpowered late when 3rd beaten by 1L last run at this venue and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Has early speed and positions nicely. Winning chance.

Odds of $31.00 and lost ground in the run home when 7th last time here. Does take a while to get into stride. Overlook from a betting angle.

At $36.00 not up to standard when 6th last time here. Gets back and needs luck. Not very reliable.

Odds of $16.00 and moved ahead of some to finish 4th last start at this track. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Significant improvement required.

Was $36.00 and fairly underwhelming when 7th last start at this track. First appearance for a new trainer. Might be ridden for luck. Hard to take.

At $25.00 had difficulty when 6th last start at this venue but returning to a longer distance. Likely to settle back in the field. Not threatening these.

Jumped at $18.00 and uncompetitive when 6th last run at the track but stepping down to a lower level. Leonardo Rodriguez and Andre Brooks must be respected together. Place claims at best.
