Del Mar Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
MONUMENTAL (7) Racing fresh today after a break. Came in 6th last time at Santa Anita. Expected to rebound and going over more ground. Should be right in the finish. DEEP TRACKS (1) First up after 25 weeks and competitive effort when 3rd first up last preparation at Santa Anita. Antonio Fresu and Peter Eurton command respect as a pairing. Has to be strongly considered. PLAGARIST (5) Came in 4th last start at this venue. Giving another chance here. Can give this a shake. KNAVE OF HEARTS (6) Finished 4th last time here but having second race start. Solid place bet prospects.

First up after 25 weeks and did well when 3rd first up last preparation at Santa Anita. Jockey Antonio Fresu riding for trainer Peter Eurton command respect. Solid prospects.

At $2.88 not competitive when 4th last start around here but having second race start. Emisael Jaramillo and Bob Baffert rate highly together. Drawn nicely. Will be a difficult assignment.

At $43.00 disappointing outing when 8th last time at this track but fitter for debut run. Hard to see this being competitive today.

Odds of $3.60 and just average when 7th last time at this track but was on debut last time. Jockey Juan J Hernandez is highly regarded. Take on trust.

Back from a break. Started at $12.00 and finished 6th last time at Santa Anita. Expected to rebound and racing over a longer distance. Should put in a decent effort.

First run back from a break. Odds of $8.50 and ran 5th last start at Santa Anita but fitter for debut run. Won't be far away during the run. Form will be tested here.
