Del Mar Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Special Weight
VAN GOGH STYLE (1) started favourite last time over 1609m at this track (Dirt) but found a couple better, making it three minor placings from four career starts. Drawn to enjoy a good run so expected to go close. MICKEY (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Fitter so expect a better run this time. GABRIEL'S GIFT (9) will find this a little easier than his second on debut three-and-a-half weeks ago, beaten 7 lengths at the end of 1106m at this track (Dirt). Drawn out but he is among the leading chances. CORNEALEUSTHEGREAT (4) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1609m at Los Alamitos, beaten only one length. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.

Racing well recently. Most recently 3rd in a small field at this track on July 26 over 1609m, 4 len behind Practical Blame with 54.5kg at $3. The start before that 2nd in a small field at Santa Anita on June 6 over 1609m, 4 len behind Ottis Betts carrying 54.5kg at $9.10. An inside alley is a big advantage. Winning prospects.
