Del Mar Race 1 - Race 1 - Allowance Optional Claiming

SUMTER (5) is back at the races for the first time since December 28. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1609m at this track. Looks a winning chance. BOSS SULLY (4) is back after a break of three months. Looking to emulate his win at Santa Anita to kick off the last campaign. Has recorded two wins when first up from a break. Looks a winning chance. SORRENTO SKY (3) is having his first run since March 8. Excels when fresh with three victories from four starts including a win over 1006m at Santa Anita at the start of last prep. Solid chance. DANIEL'S MAGIC (2) showed little early speed then came with a powerful run to finish second last time out over 914m at Los Alamitos Qh (Dirt). One of the main contenders.
