Del Mar Race 6 - Race 6 - Mdn Optional Claiming
MAKE ME MONEY (10) went forward last start and gave a great sight when third over 1006m at this track (Dirt). Can spear across from the awkward gate. Should run well again. I KNOW NOTHING (2) is a promising type who was in the placings on debut before a fourth last time over 1106m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Has ability and is among the leading hopes. LUNAR VELOCITY (7) is a two-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Peter Miller. By Essential Quality from Bikini. Bold showing expected. IT'STHETWENTYTHIRD (8) faced the starter for the first time and finished fifth last start at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 1106m, beaten 9 lengths. Fitter and with blinkers added is worth including.

Was at big odds at debut, 2nd in a small field at Los Alamitos on June 26 over 1006m, 8 len behind Blockade carrying 55.5kg at $31. Not likely to find this quite as easy as the debut outing.
