Del Mar Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance Optional Claiming

KATONAH (1) gave the leaders a start last start and made little impact in the straight when fifth, beaten 7 lengths, over this journey at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Has the ability to find the winners' list. LURE HIM IN (2) went fast early over 1710m at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) last time and defied all challengers to score by one length. Taking on a better line-up this time but he deserves plenty of thought. ARROWTHEGREAT (4) has accrued two minor placings from three runs this preparation. Produced another good effort at his most recent run when second over 1609m at Santa Anita (Dirt) after he was handy all the way. Finds a tougher race but another big run is on the cards. ULTIMATE GAMBLE (3) finished sixth when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1609m at Santa Anita, beaten 5 lengths. Nicely placed to find winning ways.
