Del Mar Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Claiming

MAXXANDER (6) finished out of the money two starts back then he got a long way back and was beaten 15 lengths when ninth in a 1609m contest at Gulfstream Park Turf six weeks ago. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. CAPTAIN GABE (1) finished third, beaten 3.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1408m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) after he was prominent at the bend. Has the class to take this out. TREXIMO (3) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 2.75 lengths back in fourth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). One of the main contenders. CIMARRON STRIP (8) showed good early dash at the first run after a spell last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing 2.5 lengths away in third over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Well-placed and can feature in the finish.
