Del Mar Race 4 - Best Pal S. Stakes
DESERT GATE (5) Charged home to win last time at Santa Anita and was on debut last time. Has early speed and positions nicely. Jockey Juan J Hernandez rates highly. Can get the job done . PAVLOVIAN (4) Finished hard to win last time at Santa Anita. Has run into the money at every start this campaign. Will be motoring home late. Prominent showing expected and won't be far off them. PUNTO FORTY (2) Finished well when winning last start at Los Alamitos Th and was a debutant last start. Has plenty of early speed. Can find a nice position from the draw. Go close. ST PETERSBURG (3) Did well to run into 3rd beaten by 2 1/4L last run at Los Alamitos Th and having second race start. Could run into the placings.
