Del Mar Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Claiming
DUKE OF ORLEANS (1) fought on for second last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt), making it two minor placings in a row. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HE'S GOT FIRE (5) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track (Dirt) over 1207m after being in the firing line all the way. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. HUNGOVER (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 1207m at this track, beaten 7 lengths into eighth. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. VICTORIA'S ROCKET (9) returned from a spell a month ago when he was beaten 5.5 lengths into ninth over 1006m at Del Mar Turf. Fitter so expect a better run this time.
