Del Mar Race 1 - Race 1 - Allowance Optional Claiming
MR. A. P. (5) Competitive effort when 3rd last time at this venue and competing in a less challenging grade. Solid career start. Can win this. OTTIS BETTS (2) First up today. Shot clear to win by a margin of 3 3/4L last time at Santa Anita and showing consistent performance in races. Big chance. VITRUVIAN MAN (3) Moderate showing when 6th last start here but challenged by less formidable competitors. Displays good closing speed. Can measure up to this company. IRISEACH (1) Finished 5th last time at this venue. Has the ability to turn things around and facing a weaker grade. Umberto Rispoli is in good form for this stable. Not out of this.

At $9.50 ran 5th last time around here. Has the ability to turn things around and facing weaker opposition. Jockey Umberto Rispoli and trainer Philip D'Amato go well together. Stands out as good value.

Fresh after a break. Was dominant when winning by a margin of 3 3/4L last time at Santa Anita and putting a tidy record together so far. Major chance.

Was $5.50 and below par when 6th last start at this venue but goes down in class. Always seems to find the line well. Looks a nice proposition.

Ran well when 3rd last time at this venue. Should muster plenty of early speed. Juan J Hernandez is highly regarded. Unfortunately, it seems unlikely.

Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last time at the track and lining up against easier rivals. Promising career start. No surprise to see solid support in the betting.
