Del Mar Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming

MYTHICAL REEL (4) finished 1.4 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1710m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Winning rider Antonio Fresu sticks. Sure to play a big role. LIVING LIFE (6) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when sixth, beaten 9 lengths, over 2816m in the G3 San Juan Capistrano Stakes at Santa Anita Turf (Turf). Tackling a more suitable race this time so it is a major player. GROGU (5) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when eighth, beaten 14 lengths, over 2816m in the G3 San Juan Capistrano Stakes at Santa Anita Turf (Turf). Cherry-ripe now and looks a clear threat. FOMO JOE (3) missed the frame two back on turf over 1811m at Santa Anita Turf but improved sharply on the dirt last time, scoring over 1609m at Del Mar. Edwin Maldonado sticks. Don't underestimate.

Form hard to fault. Last start 4th of 10 at this track on July 18 over 1710m, 1.4 len behind Packs A Wahlop carrying 56kg at $8.20. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at Santa Anita Turf on May 22 over 2012m, 3.5 len behind Living Life with 56kg at $4.10. Not a bad effort last time and is open to improvement.
