Del Mar Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance Optional Claiming

DELIGHTFUL LAURA (8) has returned in good order this campaign. Ran well but found one better last time over 1609m at this track (Turf) after registering her maiden win first-up the run before. Should camp just off the leaders. Best form puts her right in this. CORPORAL VIOLETTE (4) did a good job last start to finish third at Santa Anita (Turf) over 1609m, beaten 0.9 lengths. Winning rider Antonio Fresu sticks. Sure to play a big role. STARTS NOW (3) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when sixth over 1609m at Santa Anita (Turf). Cherry-ripe now and looks a clear threat. SHE'S A JOKER (7) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1609m at Santa Anita. Placed to advantage so anticipating another big run.
