Del Mar Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Special Weight
BAD REPUTATION (4) has started twice, running a good third on debut then finishing ninth, beaten 10 lengths, last time over 1207m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf). Expected to prove tough to beat. TRUTH OR DARE (2) is a son of Quality Road from the Group 1 winner Gamine who makes his debut. Profiles nicely for a big run at first outing. CHEEVER (8) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on November 14, finishing seventh and beaten 10 lengths over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Definite top-three chance. BLACK TIE OPTIONAL (6) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Bob Baffert. By Not This Time from Stylishly. Top-three chance.
