Delta Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Claiming
OLYMPIAD'S CHOICE (4) First start at the races 2yo by Olympiad for Iii George Leonard,. More confidence with Elio J Barrera guiding the horse. Betting as a guide. UTHINKSHECANRUN (7) Was competitive when 3rd last start at Louisiana Downs and having second race start. Will be positive in the run early. Rates well in this race. SWIFTLY ENGAGED (6) First up after a break. Below par performance when 8th last start at Evangeline Downs but having second race start. Might be ridden for luck. Stepping up in trip. Don't dismiss. DEUCE 'N A QUARTER (2) Struggled with the pace when 7th last time at Evangeline Downs but having second career run. Edward Santiago is in good form for this stable. Drawn nicely. Could fill the minors.

Started $43.00 and made up ground when 5th last run at Evangeline Downs and has minimal work to do from the draw. Likely to get back in the run. A demanding task.

Didn't threaten when 6th last run at Arapahoe Park but goes down in grade. Coming to a new trainer. Won't be far away during the run. Prefer in something easier.

Fresh today. Was $13.00 and below par when 8th last start at Evangeline Downs but was a debutant last start. Likely to get back. Going up in trip. Modest hope.

Tidy run when 3rd last start at Louisiana Downs and was on debut last time. Should be going forward early. Will show up at the business end.
