Del Mar Race 7 - Race 7 - Mdn Special Weight
POSITIVE TIMES (10) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was in the firing line all the way over 1106m at Santa Anita (Dirt). Facing a tougher assignment but he is worth serious consideration. SIRNAMI (6) is a four-start maiden who filled a minor placing at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) at the last run before spelling. Expect he has come on over the break. Rates highly and is a strong chance to take this out. PROOF HE GOES (1) stepped out on his debut over 1106m at Santa Anita (Dirt) six weeks ago and finished fourth, beaten 3 lengths. Top-three chance with that run under his belt. LUCKY N SMART (4) is back after a break of two years. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at his latest appearance over 1609m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf). Rates highly on best form and a bright return wouldn't surprise.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 43 day let-up. Most recently 2nd of 7 at Santa Anita on June 6 over 1106m, 0.3 len behind Confidence Man with 55.5kg at $4.30. Before that rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 8 at Santa Anita Turf on May 10 over 1207m, 0.5 len behind Maddie Tee carrying 55kg at $4.30. Poised to win after a narrow defeat last time.
