Delaware Park picks and analysis: September 7, 2024

Picks and analysis for this afternoon’s card from Delaware Park:

RACE 1

8. DeSantis	Rallied in improved effort in latest sprinting; front-end threat going two turns
1. Zoomer	Drops to lowest level
6. Gurt’s Warrior	Good try in latest after wide journey

RACE 2

4. Uptown Tappin	Breeding more sprint-oriented but trainer Ashby 3-for-4 with 2yo debuting at a mile or over last 2 years here; sharp gate work Aug. 24
6. Omaha Omaha	Walked out of the gate in grassy debut, losing all chance; ran on willingly for all that, and breeding says main track won’t hurt and could help
2. Sacred Thunder	Gets blinks on after three straight near-misses; gonna get bet

RACE 3

4. I’m Bleu Too	Not a terrible return to action versus better and can improve in second off the bench while landing in appropriate spot
7. Heirozan	Threat to wire the field; we’re guessing odds drift up from morning line, but be a bit cautious if not
6. Annieworkstoomuch	Couldn’t go with winner in late stages after chasing but stuck with it; lightly raced sort still has upside

8. Just Keep Looking	First time out for this Great Notion colt who’s a half to 2021 Rosie’s Stakes (CNL) show horse Wish Me Home; Robertson barn 22% with debut 2yo

7. Beau Ciel	Lynch barn super-strong with debut 2yo

RACE 5

3. Heartfullofstars	First off the claim and move up to allowance company a positive sign for productive Ness barn; veteran one of few in a race brimming with speed who might run into it
2. Showstopper Copper	Could be speed of the speed; lightly raced sort’s only stumble came on the lawn
1. Let’s Go Mark	Has shown up in some odd spots (over 20-1 two of last three) but keeps churning out good races
