Del Mar Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Special Weight
VOLCANOLOGIST (6) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1207m at Santa Anita Turf after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is capable of testing her rivals. IMPRESSIONISTIC (11) was lining up for just the second time last start when third over 1609m at Santa Anita Turf, beaten 1.75 lengths. Goes back from a wide draw but will wind up late. Well placed and expected to feature. HELPING HAND (3) raced once in the maiden preparation when fourth at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) over 1207m back on May 22. Keep very safe, bearing in mind the blinkers have been added. BLAME THE TRACK (4) faced the starter for the first time and was well supported but could only manage fourth last start at Santa Anita (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten 4 lengths. Will be better for that run and is expected to go well.

Comes here off a 47-day let-up. Last start 6th of 12 at Santa Anita Turf on June 14 over 1207m, 5.5 len behind Taking A Joy Ride with 55.5kg at $5.30.

Cannot be ruled out despite a moderate effort last time.
