Delaware Park picks and analysis: June 7, 2024

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

RACE 1

3. Court Contender	Lightly raced sort lands in good spot after knocking down two-life condition at a higher price level; makes third start off the bench
6. Afraidofthebunny	Form’s a bit in-and-out but top trainer Ness has gotten a pair of good ones out of this 4yo in first two of the season
2. Master of None	Frequent bridesmaid should appreciate a track that may have some moisture in it

RACE 2

1. Disco Ball	Voided claim in last and barn switch normally would give pause, but new trainer protects this one here, a positive sign; if the speedster can repeat any of his last three, he probably wins
6. Captain Quint	Stoked up a strong rally to win Md-bred allowance three back going seven-eighths; if the pace heats up – and it very well could – this one will be running late
3. Run Poppy	Tough beat in last when leading a long way before getting run down late in first try of the season; should be a forward factor and drawn outside the other main speed (#1)

RACE 3

6. Fixed Odds	Speedy sort has won on dirt and on off tracks
10. Delta Charm	Should compete with these and outside draw could aid the cause if rider Centeno wants to eyeball other speed
3. Miss M M	Will be first time sprinting on dirt

RACE 4

5. Jackman	Caught an awfully rough crew in last; could be the speed
3. Holy Synchronicity	Should be running at the end
4. The Distractor	Has run two strong ones in a row, one leading, one off the pace; may go off shorter than morning line

RACE 5

6. Tio Tony	Most recent dirt try last September probably wins here; seems to have maintained form on synthetic
7. Bottomless Refill	Makes third start off the bench
1. Return Fire	Has had his moments

Racing Notes

RACE 6

4. Petingas Twin	Perhaps a bit overmatched in G3 at PImlico, but prior form plenty good enough despite catching some tough rivals; show horse two back won an allowance next out; trainer’s go-to rider at CT in for the mount a good sign
5. Muazarah	Shortening up looks like a good move; gelded since last
6. Squints	Strong effort in last when running hard every step to just miss

RACE 7

11. Argentina Girl	Frequent bridesmaid may appreciate off-the-turf rivals
1. Oscar Gaze	Don’t sleep on MTO runners
9. Brown Suga Babe	Has been gradually improving

RACE 8

10. New Jersey Heist	Makes second start of the season; has efforts that would win here
2. Infinite Series	Made a bit of a middle move in last in first try at this level but going two turns; cutback to 6f a plus
3. Taji Mike	Trainer Phil Capuano 5-for-15 when dropping horses by 50% or more
