11:55 am ET Parx (Race 1) – Debbie’s Surprise 5/2 (2-star play)

Debbie’s Surprise showed good form at this level when winning by 1 1/4 lengths in a 6-furlong contest at Parx in November. She subsequently joined current handler Kathleen A Demasi but proved a disappointment on her stable debut when 8th of 9 in a starter optional claimer over the same track and trip the following month.

Given a break since, the daughter of Tale Of Ekati returns to $12,5000 claiming company today and looks capable of returning to winning ways under Silvestre Gonzalez. 

1:43 pm ET Parx (Race 5) – Pensamiento 8/5 (2-star play)

Successful at Penn National in an $8,000 claiming contest in August, Pensamiento subsequently delivered good efforts in 2 of his 3 starts in $16,000 starter optional claimers there for his previous handler.

He recorded a fair 5-length 7th when contesting a 7-furlong allowance at Parx when debuting for Daniel Velazquez earlier this month. The drop back to 6 1/2 furlongs is in his favor and the 5-year-old is selected to record the 3rd victory of his career.
