Del Mar Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Claiming
CHE (7) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 1609m at Los Alamitos after being prominent at the corner. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the key runners. KIKI RIDE (4) has been in great form with three placings in succession, most recently when beaten 10 lengths into second over 1106m at Santa Anita (Dirt) when he was prominent throughout. Taking on a better line-up this time but he good enough to play a major role. ATTACK NOW (5) last appeared five-and-a-half weeks ago over 1106m at Santa Anita when he finished third. This is his first run for the Doug F O'neill stable. One of the genuine hopes in the race. CANO FOR THE WIN (8) returned from a spell five weeks ago when he was beaten 15 lengths into fifth over 1106m at Santa Anita. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.
