Del Mar Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming

GOLD PHOENIX (2) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 2414m at Santa Anita. Boasts a first-up record of two wins and two placings from six starts. Expect him to play a major role. FINAL BOSS (3) is a four-time winner who has been racing in great heart, beaten 2 lengths into fourth last time out over 1609m at this track. Sure to figure prominently. AIR FORCE RED (6) tackled a stakes race last time when 4.5 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1609m in stakes class at this track (Turf). Winning rider Armando Ayuso sticks. One of the contenders. ASTRONOMER (5) drew wide and was pretty plain last time out when 2 lengths from the winner in fifth at this course and distance. Drops back in grade. Don't underestimate.
