Del Mar Race 11 - Del Mar Mile S. Stakes

EL POTENTE (12) lines up for the first time since March 7. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1710m at this track. Should be hard to stop. KING OF GOSFORD (9) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 1.3 lengths in stakes class at this track (Turf). Has a decent record at this track with two wins and two minor placings from six starts. Goes up a notch this time but he is a leading contender. ALMENDARES (7) turned in a strong run two starts ago in the G1 Shoemaker Mile at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) then failed to back it up over 1811m in the G2 Eddie Read Stakes at this track (Turf) last time, beaten 2.5 lengths into sixth. Better suited at this shorter trip so he is one of the main contenders. CABO SPIRIT (1) raced on the speed when resuming last start and battled on well but found one better over 1811m in the G2 Eddie Read Stakes at this track (Turf). Has sound form at this track and distance with a win and two minor placings from four runs. Strips fitter and can make his mark.
