DEL MAR
Race 1
No. 5 Mis Viola gets a big jock switch and drop in class by the ice cold Hollendorfer as he looks for the win. No. 7 Terra Lago is a Peter Miller live first time starter with Prat riding, she is out of the dam Maggies Storm who has dropped 6 winners from 7 starters with two of those winners winning stakes races. 5-7
Race 2
No. 6 Excavation is the key player here on the drop, look for him to rebound off his lackluster try last out. No. 1 El Super and No. 5 Pampers n’ Boots both exit the same race. 6**-1-5
Race 3
In this $40k claimer going five furlongs on the grass we find several older horses, the 8yo No Silent, the 8yo Chips All In and a few 7yo dotting this race. No. 1 Zuri Chop is a 6yo who draws the rail. No. 3 Stormy Rocit is a 7yp who still has some lively early speed and those are the two we will use. 1-3
Race 4
No. 5 Dangerously Close has a big time last work over the track and looks ready to fire a big shot. No. 6 Zuzu’s Petals always gives his best and will be looking to run down Dangerously. No. 9 Freedom Journey comes off the layoff and looks very live in this spot. 5-6-9
Race 5
No. 1 Bold Papa looks the single in the pick five off his last start off the long layoff, Prat sticks for Baltas and the move to a mile on the grass is what he wants. No. 3 Bottle Service and No. 8 Kings River King are the main danger. 1***-3-8
Race 6
THE $150K REAL GOOD DEAL AT 7 FURLONGS
This looks like a race for the Eddies as we have No. 4 Edwards Going Left a lightly raced upcoming 3yo and No. 6 Ann Arbor Eddie who has won 4 of his 7 starts. 4-6
Race 7
We will need to go four deep in this wide open 1-1/16 turf race using No. 2 Oregon off our HTW list, No. 7 Fritz Johansen a perfect fit here, No. 9 Offshore whose win came here last year and the speed No. 10 Record Highs. 2-7-9-10
Race 8
The last leg of the pick four is one tough nut to crack, a $20k maiden claimer going a mile on the dirt, we will opt with three runners dropping in class. No. 4 The Real McCann with Bejarano taking a rare ride for Paulo Lobo. No. 5 Indium who makes his first try on the dirt and first in a claimer and No. 6 You’ll Be Lucky who also makes his first start on dirt. 4-5-6
