E&K Stable's Art's Tiger with Eddie Dennis brings a two-race win streak and three wins in four starts into the $12,000 conditioned pace.
Two other starters in the eight-horse field won last time out. Trainer Jeff Clark's Inner Success N scored a wire-to-wire 1:54.2 win with Brad Hanners while Albert Spokes' Garnethill Stinger closed strongly for a 1:53.4 triumph.
The 11-year-old gelding has made the winner's circle in three of his last four races for trainer Rich Ringler. Eddie Davis Jr. will drive this time.
Potomac Affair, owned by Teague Inc. and Kovach Stables, has been sharp lately with a second, win and a third in his most recent outings.
Ross Wolfenden will be in the bike. Earlier this season Baldachino, Outten and Green Racing's The Cammissioner, with Jim Morand driving, set the 1:51.4track record for a four-year-old but has not won since.
He starts from post 8. A post change to the rail for Primary Colours N, owned by Pamela Hanauer and Lorie Davis, should be beneficial, with Steve Warrington at the controls.
Freedom Reins Stable's Lets Tango Lavros and Roger Plante start and Ainspan, Roberts and Graham Grace Stable's NO Wishes, handled by Jon Roberts, are alongside.
The $20,000 Delaware Claiming Pace is a wide-open affair. Lauren Allen's Big Louie (Bret Brittingham) is the lone winner last time.
Leaving from the second tier the five-year-old will be looking for his third win in four starts. Brooks Stables' Moe Knows (Kevin Sizer) meanwhile, is dropping downs in price.
Art Brewer's Scootin Bob (Hal Belote), Alton Lynch 's Classic Impression (Ross Wolfenden) and Bob Messick and Ron Patton's Sly Dog (Eddie Davis Jr.) are also contenders.
Russ and Elaine MacKinnon (Wayne Truitt), 819 Stables' Justin Hall (George Dennis) and Ron Hill's Kid Low Life complete the lineup.
