Delta Downs Race 5

5F Stakes

Prize Money: $26,906

KNIGHT'S VALOR (6) has been in the money four times including last start on January 14 when third over 1006m at this track (Dirt). Has a solid record at this track, finishing in the top-three four times. Won't get too many better chances to break through. LIFELIKE (2) is still a maiden after 10 starts. Managed to find the placings at this track (Dirt) two starts back before finishing fourth over 1006m at this track (Dirt) last start. Likely to be about the money. MISCHIEVOUS SMILE (7) remains a maiden after 12 starts. Raced on the speed last time before fading to finish fourth over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Generally takes a sit but draw makes it tricky. Will be hard to hold off again. Shapes well and is among the main hopes. FOSFORITO (1) is a four-year-old gelding on debut from the stable of E Witt Ii. By Mark Valeski from Helsingfors. Top-three chance.
