Del Mar Race 6 - Sorrento S. Stakes
HOLMBY (5) Chimed in with a win by 2 1/4L last time at this venue and was a debutant last start. Juan J Hernandez is an advantage but up against tougher rivals. Inclined to respect any betting moves and presents good prospects. BELLEZA LATINA (2) Showed a clean pair of heels when winning by 2 3/4L last time at Churchill Downs and facing a rise in trip. First start for a new trainer. Expect to go close. BLOCKADE (6) Put a gap on the rest when winning by a margin of 8L last time at Los Alamitos Th but up against stronger opponents. Should get going late. Winnable race. RUIVA (4) Came in 3rd last run at Ascot but competing at a higher level of competition. Should race on the speed. Yedsit Hazlewood is a key booking. Solid place bet prospects.

At $16.00 ran 4th last time at this venue but was on debut last time. Will appreciate a good alley. Facing a stronger group of contenders. Entitled to be a big price.

Made every post a winner to win by 2 3/4L last time at Churchill Downs and racing over more ground. Coming to a new trainer and drawn nicely. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Displayed a good turn of foot when winning last start at Ellis Park and having second career run. Stepping up to a higher level. Hard to see finishing out of the placings.

Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last run at Ascot but challenged by more formidable competitors. Likely to be well placed early. Amongst the placegetters at every start this preparation. In the mix against these.

Won by 2 1/4L last time at this track and fitter for debut run. Juan J Hernandez is a plus but facing stiffer opposition. Major player who should go very close.

Had a comfortable win by 8L last time at Los Alamitos Th but racing against tougher rivals. Finishes off strongly. Not out of this.
