Delpenn Juveniles come to town

Delpenn Championship day and we have a great race over the mile for 2yo’s on the Fast Dirt. Will we see a future star on the rise here. Lets have a look at the field.

PP 1 – Jonestable (doctahg1)  Jockey : M.Salisbury 14%  Odds : 5/1

5 starts – 13222

Hasnt been out of a place in 5 starts. Ran a nice couple of races on the Turf before switching last time out and running on from just off the pace for a 2nd(83) over 8F on the dirt. A nice type who seems to be improving each run and has a good jockey. Great chance.

PP 2 – Buricua Officer – (lopez31)  Jockey : W.Harrison  10%  Odds:  15/1

6 starts – 41722

Only had the 2 starts over the mile. Last start ran 2nd (83). Has run 2nd over the mile previously. Likes to sit on the pace, and has conditions to suit here. Tries hard and shouldnt be too far from the money. Each Way.

PP3 – Raider De Arse – (raider89)  Jockey – M.Squitieri  10%   Odds: 17/1

9 starts – 17784

Has had five tries over the mile for 1 win, that was in the slop leading all the way (72). Looked injured 2 starts back and then bounced back from a short spell last start for a 4th(84) running on strongly in an ALW. Should be suited by the pace and will again run on strong. Query the form but has a shot.

PP4 – Weehawken – (topsire)  Jockey: (j.Benisz)  26%   Odds: 4/1

8 starts – 51521

Has had the 3 starts over the mile for the 1 win. That win was over 8.5F on the dirt in a Stakes race, winning from on the pace (89). That was a nice win. but had struggled previously over the mile finding it a shade far. If he can sustain his form from last run, he has a great chance. Each way. Top jockey aboard will only help more. 

PP5 – Sacred Groove – (sdmf6)  Jockey:  T.Williams  5%    Odds: 6/1

5 starts – 21942

Ran once over the mile and performed dismally beaten more than 10 lengths (67), but that was in a Grade 3 . Runs on very strongly in sprint races were he seems more at home. Last start running 2nd(85) over 6F Dirt. If he can sustain that form over the mile he has a chance, but has to prove that first.  Passing.

PP6 – Grosse Isle – (wolverine)  Jockey:  R.Case   18%   Odds: 6/1

5 starts – 14191

Very nice horse. Has yet to run over the mile as yet. Last start he really exploded winning over 6.5F on the dirt track with a blistering (92), which is one of the best in this field. Before that he ran in the 70;s. If he can run the mile he could be the one. Prefer to sit and wait with this one, but be warned.

PP7 – Intruder – (super5)  Jockey : Q.Oliver  7%  Odds: 5/1

7 starts – 21279

Raced very well prior to last couple of starts, and comes from the powerful super stables. Those two races were in Grade company so he steps down in grade here. He ran 7th and 9th on those occasions over a route. Ran 2nd 3 starts back in similiar company over 8.5F dirt (86). Best from off the pace and if he lives up to the run 3 back he has a great shot.

PP8 – In the Light – (sdmf6)  Jockey: G.Dotson  11%  Odds : 7/1

1 start – 1

Second entry for this stable who won at his only asking over 6.5F on the dirt(77). Sat 2nd on that occasion and then spaced them in the straight. Bred to be good and the distance looks ideal. Hard to go past his brilliant win first up and looks the type to go on. He should just about win this at good odds.

PP9 – Attenzione (super2)  Jockey:  M.Squitieri  10%  Odds  7/1

6 starts – 41413

Ran 1st couple of starts on the Turf with limited success. Has scince run well on the dirt track including last start 3rd over 8F in a stakes race (85). Before that was 1st in an ALW over 8F on the dirt (85). Gets back in his races and finishes off strongly, look to be a top chance here.

PP10 – Nascar is Slow – (clarice)   Jockey: I. Chilton   8%  Odds 9/1

4 starts – 2021

Very nice horse. Dont know what happened 3 starts back (suspect injured or lay off). Running 11th (61). Has run on very strongly either side of that poor run, including last start winning over 8F dirt (85). Ran in the 80;s both other starts. Certainly has obscure breeding and hope he turns into a nice horse for the trainer. He certainly looks the goods and think he can blow them away.

Tips

Pace should be okay, but not as fast as some of the backmarkers might like.

1st.  I think Nascar is Slow holds the key. He has run on strongly at each of his runs and should be able to come home well for the win. He looks  like hes headed for better things.

2nd.  Really like the 8 Horse In The Light.  Only had the one start but was super impressive and is bred for the journey. Should relish the step up and is a genuine start in the making. Should sit on the pace and be tough at the end. Think hes going places.

3rd.  Jonestable has yet to miss a place and is so consistent you just can’t leave him out. Sits on the pace which may be an advantage in this. Should be strong at the end.

Tough race. Good luck to all particpants and may your horses come back RTG.
