Del Mar Race 6 - I'm Smokin S. Stakes
EARLY ENCORE (7) Ran 3rd last time at this track and competing at a lower class. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Key hope. NET PAR (6) Managed to come out on top by the slightest of margins last start here and competing in a less challenging grade. Unbeaten last 2 attempts. Will go well. LITTLE KING (1) Close up last run at this track and gets the perfect draw. Has run into the money at every start this campaign but facing a stronger grade. Suitably placed in this race. EMPIRE OF ASH (5) Ran 4th last time at this track but having second career run. Competing in a more challenging grade. Watch betting.

Right up there last run at the track and has drawn the rails. Placed at every start this preparation but up in grade. Commands respect.

Jumped at $53.00 and sub-standard effort when 6th last run here but matched against less formidable competition. Has a good draw. Will be tested.

Got the upper hand late when winning last time at this venue and showing consistent performance in races. Performing impressively since returning from a break but racing against tougher rivals. Will need to find a new peak.

Odds of $43.00 and finished 4th last time at the track but facing less formidable opponents. Should come to hand quickly. Risky betting proposition.

Odds of $10.00 and ran 4th last time at this track but was a debutant last start. Competing at a higher grade. Seems very unlikely.

Got the upper hand late when winning last start around here and lining up against easier rivals. Undefeated last 2 runs and good career start. Stamps its reason for consideration.

Tidy effort when 3rd last time here and up against weaker rivals. Shows good early pace. Will not be far away.
