Del Mar Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming

CITY EXILE (5) was safely held when fifth last time out over 1609m at Santa Anita Turf, beaten 4 lengths. That followed a win at Santa Anita Turf at the previous outing. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. LORD BULLINGDON (6) finished second two runs back at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) then improved last time out to score by a nose as public elect over 1609m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf). Goes up a rung or two but he is up to the task. BALLADEER (2) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing sixth over 1609m at Santa Anita (Dirt). Look for a better run this time out. UNCLE HAPPY (3) was beaten 1.5 lengths into fourth over 1609m at Santa Anita Turf seven weeks ago. Suitably placed so can turn things around.

Comes off a 49 day let-up. At the latest run ran second last of 7 at Santa Anita on June 5 over 1609m, 20 len behind Midway Lane carrying 57kg at $7.10. Before that ran last in a small field at Santa Anita Turf in the G2 Charles Whittingham Stakes on May 2 over 2012m, 23 len behind Mondego carrying 54.5kg at $9.50. Capable of more – worth another chance.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 49-day let-up. Most recently won by a nose at Santa Anita Turf June 5 over 1609m defeating El Rey Rey with 56kg at $2.40. The race before that ran on from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Santa Anita Turf on May 3 over 1811m, nose behind Zalamo with 56kg at $3.70. Got the job done last time and is a leading hope again.
