Del Mar Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Special Weight
CORNEALEUSTHEGREAT (5) turned in an eye-catching run over 1609m at Los Alamitos (Dirt) last time, ridden back before coming home with a powerful run to finish second. Among the top chances. HERE ON BUSINESS (6) made his debut last start and was just fair in finishing fifth at Santa Anita (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten 4.5 lengths. Watch for a much better performance this time. GABRIEL'S GIFT (2) is appearing for the first time. By Straight Fire and hails from the R Baltas stable. Good draw a big help. Expect a bold run. QUALITY GOLD (7) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1207m at Santa Anita, beaten just half a length. Finds a nice race and can keep improving.

Was well-supported at debut, ran second last in a small field at Santa Anita on May 22 over 1207m, 4.5 len behind Otto's Magic with 55kg at $3.30. Gets a pass-mark after that debut and can go on with it.

Resumes from a spell. Not seen since he finished last of 10 at Santa Anita Turf October 5 over 1207m, 17 len behind Sir Percival with 55.5kg at $8. On debut fourth of 8 at this track August 7 over 1207m, 15 len behind Brunchandcrunch carrying 52kg at $11.20. Hard to enthuse.
