Del Mar Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
ZUZU'S CLASSIC GAL (7) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1006m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) when second, beaten 1.3 lengths. Will benefit from that experience so she is worth following up. VERENICE (2) is a three-year-old filly by Cistron out of Just Got In on debut for the Carla Gaines stable. Likely to enjoy a nice run from this favourable draw. Serious contender, particularly if solid in the market. COME ON OM (5) met with solid support last start over 1207m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) when fourth, beaten 2.75 lengths. Can bounce back over this journey. MUSTANG KNICKY (4) resumes from a spell of a year. Could only manage to finish fifth at the latest run over 1006m in stakes class at Del Mar (Dirt). Can kick off with a bold showing.
