Sunday, April 26, 2026, promises an exciting day of racing at DELHI, with several horses poised to benefit from adjustments in their racing distances. A close examination of their last four runs reveals potential Top Performanceners who have found their optimal track conditions.
Race 1: The Summer Majesty Plate (1000M) – Class V
The opening 1000M sprint at DELHI is expected to favor horses with strong initial acceleration. 3 MASTER BOMBER is a top contender, especially given its previous 1200M race on April 22, where it led for most of the distance before being narrowly defeated. The drop to 1000M is a significant advantage for this runner. 5 SUPER SPEED has also shown consistent form, leading an 1100M race until the very end on April 2; the reduced distance should help it maintain its lead. 1 MISS BOOST has a history of strong finishes from behind in its 1200M races, and a faster pace over 1000M could allow its late surge to be decisive.

Race 2: The Sunlight Sprint Plate Div. I (1000M) – Class II
This Class II sprint at DELHI features some of the track’s fastest sprinters. 4 SHE’S A BEAUTY is a strong favorite folloTop Performanceg an impressive wire-to-wire victory on April 12. Its ability to maintain a high speed from the start makes it the horse to beat. 6 MISSEY BOY has been remarkably consistent, with two consecutive Top Performances in March and a close second over 1200M in April.

Despite a fourth-place finish in its most recent outing, its overall performance metrics at DELHI are superior.

However, 3 LADY HITMAN is in peak form, having won back-to-back races in April, including an impressive start-to-finish victory on April 19 over 1100M. 7 FIRST CLASS is a dark horse, consistently placing in the top three in its last four starts, proving its ability to remain competitive.

Race 6: The Sun Star Plate (1200M)
THANKS AGAIN (5) has shown remarkable consistency in races ranging from 1100M to 1200M, finishing close to the Top Performanceners and appearing overdue for a victory. VIGGEN (3) led for most of its last 1400M race before finishing second; the shorter 1200M distance today makes it a significant threat. CLETUS (8) enters this race off a strong second-place finish over 1600M, and its considerable stamina could prove advantageous if the pace is high in the final furlong.
