Del Mar Race 7 - Race 7 - Starter Optional Claiming
AGROWEST (4) Picked up nicely to win last time at Los Alamitos Th and was a debutant last start. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Respect in this event. HOWIE'S LAW (6) Pulled away to win by a margin of close to 8L last run at the track. Has good finishing speed. Has to be included. KING STEPHEN (3) Resuming after a spell. Lost ground in the run home when 11th last start at Santa Anita. Giving another go here and competing at a lower level of competition. Can't knock. PALMER BEACH (2) Performed below standard when 6th last time around here but will try to take advantage of the alley. Shows good early pace. Recent form of the stable is strong. Not out of this.

Tidy run when 2nd last start here and gets a favourable draw. Should get going late. Testing ability against stronger contenders. Form has been improving over recent runs. Looks optimistic.

Jumped at $11.00 and disappointing run when 6th last time at this venue but drawn nicely. Should muster plenty of early speed. Facing a stronger group of contenders. One for the value hunters.

Was eating up the ground late to win last time at Los Alamitos Th and was on debut last time. Change in trainer. Has early speed and positions nicely. Good chance and definitely has claims.

First up from a spell of 423 weeks. Failed to threaten last time at Presque Isle Downs. First start for a new trainer. Watch early betting.
