Delta Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Claiming
STRIKE POWER QUEEN (1) Racing as a debutant 2yo by Strike Power for Nicholas Latour and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Market as guide. ANNA K (8) Nice run when 3rd last time at this venue and having second career run. Has the necessary speed to overcome the wide draw. Will give a big sight. TRUE FIRE (3) Placed 2nd last run at the track. Expecting to settle positively. This field suits. SWIFTLY ENGAGED (7) Set a strong tempo before tiring to place 3rd beaten by more than 6L last run at the track. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race.

Nicholas Latour 2yo first starter by Strike Power and gets the perfect alley. Jockey H Javier Hernandez is highly regarded. Watch for a sign in the market.

Placed 3rd last time at this venue and was a debutant last start. Has the early speed to burn across from the wide alley. Strong prospects.
