Del Mar Race 1 - Race 1 - Starter Optional Claiming
LIAM SMITH (5) Racing fresh today after a break. Made every post a winner to win by a margin of 11L last start at Santa Anita and good career start. Respect in this company. DECAPO (3) Resuming after a break. Set the tempo to win by a margin of 3 1/2L last time at Santa Anita and on an upward trajectory in recent races. A win wouldn't surprise. BURNING RUBBER (7) First up. Did well to finish 2nd beaten by 3/4L last start at Santa Anita and matched against a less competitive field. Jockey Juan J Hernandez is in form. Could run a race. HOT HEAD (1) First up from a spell. Flew home to win last start at Santa Anita and has minimal work to do from the barrier. Likely to be well placed early. Keep in mind. Something for the Multiples: HOTHEAD (1)

Fresh after a spell. Good performance to run into 2nd last start at Santa Anita and stepping down to a lower level. Juan J Hernandez is a strong choice aboard. Worth a lot of thought in this race.
