Delaware Park picks and analysis: May 29, 2024

Picks and analysis for this evening’s card from Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races:

RACE 1

5. Strugar	Inclined to forgive last after two good tries previously; never worse than second in three tries at the trip, 2-for-2 at Delaware, and rider Carrasco here just for this mount
6. Desert Ruler	Last couple aren’t great but prior form plenty good enough; suspect he wants more ground than today’s 5 1/2 furlongs
1. Borracho	Four clunkers in a row prior to last out win makes 2-1 tough to stomach; could be tough to reel in if he gets loose on lead

RACE 2

7. Donegal Danny	Bit of trouble in last when beaten as 4-5 choice at higher level; earlier form plenty good enough
4. Jaknava	Return to big effort two back makes him competitive
1. Storm Cat Eyes	Debut outing remains his strongest; blinkers off today

RACE 3

8. Divine Promise	Bombs away! Only prior turf sprint was competitive
3. Lady Lancer	Bested top choice to graduate, made only two subsequent turf tries
6. Roubaix	Makes second start off the bench
