Del Mar Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Special Weight
MOTGA (5) 2yo by Motown having first start for trainer Bob Baffert. Jockey Juan J Hernandez is in form. Market as guide. FLIGHT CLUB (4) Missed by a narrow margin last run at Century Mile and matched against a less competitive field. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Racing over more ground. Can win this. BABE'S EMPIRE (3) Curlin 2yo trained by Bob Baffert having first start. Florent Geroux rates highly. Betting is the best guide. BOSS MAN BOLT (2) Came in 2nd last start at this track and going over extra ground. Has run into the money 3 from 3 attempts this preparation and solid career start. Could pose a threat and looks promising.

At $23.00 came in 5th last time at this venue but fitter for debut run. Rising in trip. Has minimal work to do from the barrier. Hard to see it being competitive today.

Threw down a serious challenge last run at Century Mile and back in an easier grade. Will be pushing for a forward position early. First appearance for a new trainer. Major player who should go very close.

Rattled home nicely into 3rd beaten by 2L last start at Ellis Park and was on debut last time. Does take a while to get into stride. Very unlikely to shake these.
