Del Mar Race 10 - Del Mar Debutante S. Stakes
HOLMBY (8) Was fighting out the finish when winning last start at this venue and stepping down to a lower level. Strong form this preparation winning 2 from as many attempts. Will be there at the finish. MISS MONICA (9) Ran away with a win by a margin of 5 3/4L last run at this track and having second race start. Juan J Hernandez is a smart booking. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . PANDA LISTEN (1) Controlled the pace when winning by a margin of 6L last run at Thistledown and has minimal work to do from the alley. Should come to hand quickly. Can go on with it. FREE CLOSER (5) Shot away to win by a margin of more than 8L last start around here and drops back to a suitable grade. Good career start. Must be considered.

Was much too speedy in front to win by 6L last run at Thistledown and can save some energy from the draw. Has early speed and positions nicely. Win will not surprise.

Honest race when 2nd last time at this track and was on debut last time. Can find a nice position from the draw. Up against a higher level of opposition. Considerable improvement needed.

Blitzed its rivals when winning by 3 1/4L last run at this venue but taking on stronger opponents. Will be positive in the run early. Watch the betting.

Ran well when 3rd last run here and up against a less competitive field. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Not threatening these.

Was dominant when winning by a margin of over 8L last start at this track and up against a less challenging field. Honest performer putting a tidy record together. Expecting a solid performance.

Zipped home into 2nd beaten by 7L last run at Ellis Park and promising career start. Running with confidence this preparation but facing a stronger group of contenders. This won't be easy.

Nice run when 2nd last run at the track and having second career run. Up against a more competitive field. Overlook from a betting angle.

Put the head down when winning last start at this track and competing at a lower class. Flying this campaign with 2 wins from 2 runs. Can measure up against these.

Was very impressive when winning by 5 3/4L last run at this venue and was a debutant last start. Jockey Juan J Hernandez is a bonus. Definite claims for punters.

Made all when winning by a margin of 2L last start at Ellis Park but competing at a higher grade. Has the necessary speed to mitigate the wide draw. Marginal chance.
