Del Mar Race 7 - Real Good Deal S. Stakes

PAVLOVIAN (8) is a talented colt who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 27 lengths behind Further Ado over 1710m in the G3 Matt Winn Stakes at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Reunites with Edwin Maldonado who has a win when partnering. Sure to run well. START THE RIDE (11) is racing well, scoring two back at Santa Anita (Dirt) before finishing half a length from the winner in second last time over 1811m at Listed level at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Can return to winning ways. OCEAN BEAR (10) resumes today after closing off last preparation with three consecutive wins, the latest over 1408m at this track on October 31. Should camp just off the leaders. Will be in this for a long way. HE'S A KNOCKOUT (9) is having his first run since May 23. Has a very good fresh record, scoring two times including one over 1308m at Santa Anita Turf at the start of last prep. Has found the right race and is worth including.

Comes off a 34 day let-up. Most recently ran second last in a small field at Los Alamitos in LR on June 27 over 1811m, 8 len behind Sabino Canyon carrying 54kg at $23.30. The start before that ran second last in a small field at Santa Anita on June 7 over 1106m, 13 len behind Courtside Action with 55.5kg at $19.30. Draws well but predicted to struggle.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 34-day let-up. Most recently 2nd in a small field at Los Alamitos in LR on June 27 over 1811m, 0.5 len behind Sabino Canyon carrying 54kg at $1.60. The run before that favourite; won by 0.5 len at Santa Anita May 23 over 1609m defeating King's Ride carrying 54.5kg at $2.20. With a little improvement can take this out.
