Coastline, Rise Up highlight Delta Jackpot

Coastline, a three-length winner of the October 27 Street Sense at Churchill

Downs, has been installed as the 5-2 morning line favorite in Saturday's $1

million

Delta Downs Jackpot. The 11th running of the Grade 3 event will feature

a full field of 10 two-year-olds at 1 1/16 miles.

The Delta Downs Jackpot is the featured event on an 11-race card that

contains eight stakes and is part of the "Prep Season" portion of the 2013-2014

Road to the Kentucky Derby series, offering points on a 10-4-2-1 scale to the

first four finishers.

An easy maiden winner at Keeneland two starts back, Coastline is trained by

Mark Casse, who also the captured the Vinton, Louisiana track's signature event

in 2007 with the dead-heating Turf War. Coastline is a son of top sire

Speightstown and the Kentucky-bred gray colt earned a field-best 96 BRIS Speed

rating when capturing his stakes debut in the Street Sense. He will start from

post 2 with regular rider Shaun Bridgmohan.

Casiguapo, who exits a commendable pair of efforts versus Grade 1 rivals in

New York, comes next on the morning line at 4-1. Based at Calder with trainer

Mario Morales, the Sightseeing colt shipped to Saratoga to finish second in the

Hopeful Stakes before a fourth in the Champagne last out. He figures to

appreciate the class relief after competing against the likes of Havana, Honor

Code and Strong Mandate in those starts. Luis Saez retains the mount on the

chestnut.

Doug O'Neill, who was represented by the winning Goldencents last year, will try to

capture back-to-back editions when he sends out Rum

Point. A maiden winner on Del Mar's Polytrack, Rum Point exits a 12th in the

Breeders' Cup Juvenile, his first start on dirt, and has made his last three

starts against Grade 1 competition. Mario Gutierrez

will be in to ride Rum Point.

Other runners include Mighty Brown and Flat Gone, the respective runner-up

and third-placer in the Jean Lafitte; Grade 3 Grey Stakes runner-up Big Bazinga;

and impressive Keeneland debut winner Rankhasprivileges.
