Del Mar Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
POTICA (6) is back after a break of 11 weeks. At the last run before the layoff she finished fifth over 905m at Santa Anita (Dirt). Looks the one to beat. BIG TWIST (2) is a two-year-old filly by Mr Big out of Steamy Novel set to debut for the T Yakteen stable. Likely to enjoy a nice run from this favourable draw. Should acquit herself well. Keep an eye out for any positive market movement. NOT SO MERRY MARY (8) is a two-year-old filly on debut from the stable of T Yakteen. By Sir Prancealot from Mary Coughlan. Expected to feature.
