Del Mar Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Special Weight
LET HER FLY (6) is a two-start maiden who was unplaced on debut then improved to finish second last time over 1106m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf), beaten half a length. Sits handy in the run. Can get off the mark this time. AUTOMATIC PRESS (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1509m at Gulfstream Park Turf, beaten only 1.75 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. DREAM SEEKER (1) is on debut. By Girvin and comes from the M W McCarthy stable. Watch for a betting push. WILDCATTER (8) is on debut. By Tapit and hails from the Richard E Mandella stable. Watch the market closely.
