Del Mar Race 8 - San Diego H. Stakes

JOURNALISM (5) has found the frame at both starts this prep, the latest when third over 1609m in the G1 Metropolitan Handicap at Saratoga (Dirt). Has never been out of the placings at the third run in so he looks very hard to beat. SHEA BRENNAN (3) led throughout last start to score an effortless 3 lengths win over 1609m in stakes class at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Armando Ayuso who has two wins when partnering stays on. Should be in the finish. FULL SERRANO (6) is back from a spell of four months. Turned in a fair effort in the G3 Oaklawn Mile Stakes at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) over 1609m at his only run last prep, finishing fourth and beaten 2.75 lengths. Strong record with Joel Rosario in the irons, including a win. One of the contenders. MIRAHMADI (2) is back at the races for the first time since July 26. Scored over 1609m at Santa Anita to launch the last campaign. Has to be respected.

Second run back. First-up after eight months won by 3 len at Los Alamitos LR June 20 over 1609m defeating Speedy Wilson carrying 57kg at $3.80. Previously second-up won by 3.5 len at this track August 31 over 1308m defeating Clampett carrying 55kg at $3.90. Only needs to hold that form to be winning again. Improver with winning prospects.
