Del Mar Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Special Weight
APPLES Y PEACHES (1) First up from a break of 11 weeks and produced an eye catching run when 3rd first up last preparation at Santa Anita. Promising career start. Gets a favourable alley. Major chance. WOLF HILL (5) First up. Did well when 2nd last run at Santa Anita. Shows good early pace. Looks a winning hope. SWIMMINGLY (3) In the money when 3rd last run here and putting a tidy record together. In a purple patch of form this campaign. Should get going late. Winning prospect. BOURBON STORY (4) Ran on into 5th last time at Churchill Downs. Jockey Julien R Leparoux and trainer Robert B Hess Jr link well together. Has a nice turn of foot. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive.

Odds of $53.00 and disappointing effort when 8th last time at this track but can find a nice position from the draw. Hard to recommend with any confidence.

Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last run around here and showing consistent performance in races. Will be hitting the line strongly. No surprise to see solid support in the betting.

Pushed past some when 5th last time at Churchill Downs. Julien R Leparoux and Robert B Hess Jr are a promising combination. Has very good closing speed. Should not be far away.

Racing fresh today after a break. Came in 2nd last run at Santa Anita. Should muster plenty of early speed. Winning potential.

First up from a break. Outpaced some runners late when 4th last run at Santa Anita and returning to more ground. One that represents value at a decent price.
