Del Mar Race 4 - Race 4 - Allowance Optional Claiming

PIPER'S CAUSEWAY (6) is back at the races for the first time since October 24. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1207m at Golden Gate Fields All Weather. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. SCENE BY ME (5) went forward when resuming last start over 1006m at this track (Turf) and held on well for third, beaten 2 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. ITS A CINCH (1) stuck on well when resuming last start to finish third over 1308m at Del Mar (Dirt) after showing good early speed. In the right race and is a key runner. DISKO TRIBUTE (3) finished third over 1006m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) at his most recent appearance on April 19. Has found the right race and is worth including.

Comes off a 29 day let-up. Last start ran last of 10 at this track on July 18 over 1710m, 6 len behind Packs A Wahlop with 56.5kg at $21. The race before that won by a nose at Santa Anita Turf on May 30 over 1609m defeating Ah Jeez with 56kg at $10.40. Expect sharp improvement.
