DEL MAR
Race 1
No. 6 Topaz Time gets a drop in this, her second start, she was in very tough vs. straight maidens and the filly who finished second in the race scored big next out. No. 3 Space Cadet has been well bet in all three of her starts and gets back to sprint today. 3-6
Race 2
No. 1 Smokey’s Legacy gets Bejarano on board in this five furlong turf sprint, he was stuck on the outside last out and gets his second start off the layoff and Peter Miller claim. No. 4 Trust Ur Intuition could not draw into a similar event this past Thursday but is a player here off his last. 1-4
Race 3
No. 2 Dadtaughtmewell is in from Churchill Downs for Chris Hartman who got his first win here the other day. No. 4 I B Mike gets his first start off the Hollendorfer claim and a near miss here last out at this level and distance. No. 5 Overcomer is in a good spot and Hess puts his go to rider on board. 2-4-5
Race 4
Maidens go a mile on the grass. No. 2 Dark Energy never got untracked last out when going 1-1/8 on the grass but if he can run back to his mile turf race he has a big shot. No. 8 Angel Eria is another of those over the pond shippers that have been winning, Dryasdale runs her vs. the boys and Prat gets on. No. 11 Bedeviled has the Desormeaux connections and has turned things around since getting on the grass, Kent will work out a trip from this post. 2-8-11
Race 5
No. 4 Allsquare gets her second start here and will love the extra distance today and the drop to this level, we will single. 4
Win and place 4
Race 6
The early pace will be very fast in this mile turf race so we will look for some runners who will sit chilly off the hot pace and pounce down the lane. No. 4 Tuco has the ability to sit and Prat will get him the trip. No. 1 Bronzino moved to early last out and now Blanc gets back on, he will be making a big late run. 1-4
Race 7
Maiden 2yo fillies go 5-1/2 furlongs. No. 1 Grand Prix made a nice run first out going 5 furlongs to finish a solid third. No. 3 Big Adventure is by Mr. Big a .43% sire first out and she is out of the dam Revealing who has dropped 4 winners from 4 starters, the last work says she is on go. No. 4 Partyinthepaddock is a first-time starter who gets Mike Smith, this filly has been working like a real runner. Flavien Prat makes a rare ride for Bob Baffert as he gets on No. 5 Fact of Life a first-time starter by the Factor who was a very fast colt, this filly has Bafferts back-to-back 5 furlong works. Baffert also sends out No. 8 American Gal with Bejarano riding, she also has the back-to-back five furlong work pattern. We will opt for both in the late pick four. 5-8* are the keys with 1-3-4
Race 8
THE 150K SOLANA BEACH AT ONE MILE ON THE GRASS
Exiting our HTW list No. 5 Barbara Beatrice has been pointing to this race and the grass, her works say she wins today, we will need to use No. 11 Majestic Heat off that last big win with Prat sticking. 5****-11
Win and place 5
Race 9
20k maidens go six furlongs. No. 3 Legitimate has run back-to-back good races since being dropped to this level. No. 8 Resistanceisfutile just missed last out vs. Legitimate and now gets a major rider upgrade. 3-8***
