Read on for my Delta Downs picks and betting tips for Tuesday, March 9, 2021.

This is a starter optional claiming race for four-year-olds and upward running a distance of seven furlongs for a purse of $24,000.

I like the 5/1 underdog in this race — Tabia, ridden by Alex Birzer. This six-year-old gelding moneyed 10 of his 20 career starts, winning six. Against the rest of this field, that’s leader-of-the-pack statistics.

I don’t see any longer-odds entries in this race that could finish in the money, so let’s save ours.

This is a maiden special weight race for fillies and mares three years old and upward running a distance of 6-1/2 furlongs for a purse of $37,000.

I’m sticking with the 2/1 favorite in this race — Hallajoori, with Joel Dominguez in the irons. This four-year-old filly moneyed in six of her career starts and has comparatively superior speed figures versus the rest of this field.

At 12/1, Blue Ridge Moon, with Emanuel Nieves aboard, looks like a good value show wager. This three-year-old filly moneyed two of her four career starts and has shown good performance levels in recent workouts, as well as chalked up competitive speed figures.

This is an allowance race for fillies and mares four years old and upward running a distance of 6-1/2 furlongs for a purse of $39,000.

I agree with the morning line here, and my money’s on the 6/5 favorite — Shi O’Shi, ridden by Diego Saenz. This four-year-old filly finished in the money for four of her five career starts, winning two.

And at 12/1, I like Queen Gigi, with Luis Batista aboard, for a value show ticket. This four-year-old filly moneyed four of her eight career starts, winning two.
