Race 1 – 5 Furlongs Turf, 7 races, 5 won by speed, 5 w2w – PP: 0 from the rail, 2/3 discount, 4-7 fair, 8+ Bonus 

11 – CANDY CARAMEL – tr Peter Miller hits at 31% in 2nd career races, three good works since debut, was well bet

8 – LA PEER – 1st time starter, Philip D’Amato and Juan Hernandez strongest jy/tr combo – OK works but strong pedigree for distance/surface

2 – BALENCIAGA BETTY – three really good works leading into today

1 – HEART OF THE NIGHT – bullet and go, alpha angle

12 – THREE STRANDS – some good works getting ready, jy Umberto Rispoli hitting at 23%

3 – QUEENZY

6 – HAPPY GAL

 

Race 2 – 6 Furlongs, 8 races, 6 won by speed, 3 w2w – PP: outside in bias, 0 from rail, 2/3 underperform, 4-7 fair, 8+ bonus 

2 – RIGHTEOUSLY – 2 wins in 3 races at Del Mar, better first ½ mile last out, fractions were faster too, 2 maintenance works between starts

8 – LI’L GRAZEN – top Del Mar number and it’s not close, works getting ready for return are blah

1 – TROUBLE N PARADISE – 2nd run after a claim, 24% angle for tr Sergio Morfin, distance 5/2-1-1, EP type that can be pilot or co pilot and still win, just need to be in the cockpit

8 – KITTY KITANA – BB – won’t be 5/2 – I think closer to 6/5, maybe lower, just missed in a G3 and with a little luck, could be undefeated in her 2 US races since coming from Ireland, extra 1 ½ furlongs helps

1 – VELVET – been a money burner, BTN favorite 3 in a row, tr Richard Mandella hits at 30%, 4/0-3-1

10 – PELIGROSO

9 – GRANOLA GIRL

 

Race 4 – 1 Mile, 9 races, 5 won off the pace, 2 w2w -PP: strong outside in, 0 from rail. 1 from 2/3, fair 4-7, strong bonus 8+

7 – LORD SHELDON

4 – SURROGATE

 

Race 5 – 1 Mile Turf, 16 races, 11 won off the pace, 4 2w2 – PP: rail bonus, 2/3 underperform, 4-7 bonus, 8+ underperform

12 – COOL YOUR JETS – run OK at Del Mar 10/1-3-1, two of the best off the best, ITM 6/10, if he gets in

6 – GOLDINI – has a +4f edge over the field, C’mon, everybody knows you play Philip D’Amato on grass

5 – CONSTANT CONFLICT – got the maiden win at MSW 61k, one of the highest in the field, helps identify class

10 – TODAY MATTERS – MCL 20k risers isn’t my favorite, but the three most recent grass goes fit here

8 – BRAVESTONE – absolute flyer but won MSW 67k on turf and other turf number wasn’t far off from winning number – again MSW win can be class identifier

5 – STRESSED – kind of hard to overlook tr Peter Eurton winning 4/5 in second start off the claim and TLRSP# in first start with Eurton

8 – CHAMPAGNE CAMIE – Juan Hernandez rides, last and only ride was w2w win at Del Mar/Distance/Surface

10 – LEXINGTON HUMOR – if he gets in, first two races would be good enough to win, concerning Rispoli gets on the 3

2 – DEL MAR DRAMA – has the top LP#s in a race that’s loaded with speed. If it breaks down, will capitalize
