Del Mar Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Claiming
GHOSTWRITTEN (1) is back after a break of 12 weeks. At the last run before the layoff he finished fifth over 1609m at Santa Anita (Dirt). Has ability and sure to prove tough to beat. GALLATIN (5) steps up in trip after he was well held last time in eighth over 1207m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf). Has the blinkers removed. Rates highly and a bold showing is expected. YAUTOWN (3) has not been sighted since he finished sixth over 1308m at Santa Anita on June 7. Well placed and likely to feature. PERFECTIONACHIEVED (6) never really threatened when resuming last time out, finishing midfield and beaten 6 lengths over 1710m at Del Mar Turf (Turf). Settles back early but winds up late. Can feature in the finish.

Comes here off a 60-day let-up. At the latest run 8th of 11 at Santa Anita Turf on June 14 over 1207m, 9 len behind Legal Heir with 55kg at $8.40. The race before that ran on from midfield; 2nd of 8 at Santa Anita Turf on April 25 over 1609m, 1.75 len behind Savage Warden carrying 55.5kg at $3.10. Capable of a better run.
