Del Mar Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Special Weight
NEWTON (2) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1308m at Santa Anita (Dirt) when third, beaten 6 lengths. Sure to take a lot from that hitout so he is worth following up. ON THE BURNER (4) last appeared five-and-a-half weeks ago over 1609m at Churchill Downs when he finished second. This is his first run for the A K Saavedra stable. Capable of playing a major role. COLLMUS (5) is a five-year-old entire on debut from the stable of Bob Baffert. By Gun Runner from Perfect Wife. Expected to feature. ESSOS (3) is a four-start maiden who filled a minor placing at Santa Anita (Dirt) at the last run before spelling. Can pick up where he left off. Rates highly on best form and should be in the mix.

Was well-supported at debut, held ground to the line 3rd of 9 at Santa Anita on June 7 over 1308m, 6 len behind Duke Silver carrying 55kg at $3.20. Can build upon that bright start to his career.

Back from a spell. Only had one start last campaign 2nd in a small field at Santa Anita on May 22 over 1609m, 5.5 len behind Decisive Win with 54.5kg at $7.50. First up last campaign 8th of 10 at this track on November 22 over 1308m, 10 len behind So Happy carrying 55.5kg at $24.80. Has solid claims.

Second-up. Promising on debut 2nd of 12 at Churchill Downs Turf on November 30 over 1006m, 1.5 len behind Arbiter with 54kg at $49.90. Returned from break led but faded 2nd of 8 at Churchill Downs on June 25 over 1609m, 1.5 len behind Fuzzbuster with 53.5kg at $7.50. Strong winning chance.

Five-year-old entire by Gun Runner out of Perfect Wife having his first start. Key runner likely to measure up.
