Del Mar Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Optional Claiming
AVALON ROSE (2) stepped out on her debut over 1106m at Ellis Park (Dirt) four weeks ago and finished fifth, beaten 9 lengths. Expected to be very competitive. MYSTIC AURORA (3) debuted seven weeks ago and was well supported when she finished fourth over 1006m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf), beaten 10 lengths. Likely improver and can get off the mark this time. LIBERTY N JUSTICE (6) is appearing for the first time. By Maclean's Music and comes from the G Prodromou stable. Bold showing expected. THEBEACHISBACK (5) is on debut. By Omaha Beach and is out of the M W McCarthy stable. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves.

Jumped at big odds at debut, didn't do much in the run home; 5th of 11 at Ellis Park on July 6 over 1106m, 9 len behind Scarlett Begonia with 54kg at $45.22. Improver who looks ideally placed here. Can measure up.

Was well-supported at debut, 4th in a small field at Santa Anita Turf on June 14 over 1006m, 10 len behind Weekend Vibes carrying 54.5kg at $2.80. Gets a pass-mark after that debut and can go on with it.
