Del Mar Race 11 - Race 11 - Mdn Special Weight
KOEKKOEK (6) was one of the favoured runners when resuming last start but could only manage to finish fifth over 1207m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf). Was in the placings at his only other second-up run. Should be poised just off the lead. Best figures should see him run well. PLAGARIST (9) was in contention on the turn and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1609m at Santa Anita Turf after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within his grasp. CONQUER WE MUST (3) is back from a spell of three months. Debuted with a second, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 1207m at Santa Anita Turf at his only appearance to date. Can give this a shake. YEP (4) is fresh from a spell of four months and did hit the frame when last resuming at Saint-Cloud over 1400m. In a different yard now.

Lining up for just third start. At long odds at debut, 7th of 10 at Santa Anita Turf on May 2 over 1609m, 3.5 len behind Melismatic carrying 54kg at $25.20. Second-up ran last in a small field at Santa Anita Turf in LR on May 17 over 1609m, 7 len behind Bust Out with 54.5kg at $15.90. Better off looking to others.
