Del Mar Race 8

Mdn Special Weight

Stake: -

VAN GOGH STYLE (1) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last start around here and showing consistent performance in races. Should come to hand quickly. Showing good ability this preparation. Back to a shorter trip. Must be considered. RACK ON MAN (8) Sergio Morfin trained 3yo by Smiling Tiger having first race start. Jockey Edgar Payeras is in form. Market as guide. GABRIEL'S GIFT (9) Tidy effort when 2nd last run at the track and was a debutant last start. Worth an investment. MICKEY (5) Looked flat when 4th last start at the track and down in distance. Exotics hope in this event.

Came in 3rd last start at this venue and has drawn the rails. Likely to be well placed early. Showing great form since coming back from a break. Solid chance.
