Del Mar Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Optional Claiming
PRO PAYNE (7) wasn't far away last time at big odds, finishing second over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Among the leading chances. I KNOW NOTHING (2) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1106m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. BLAME ASHLEY (3) is on debut. By Blame and comes from the Hector O Palma stable. Watch for a betting push. FAST AFFAIR (6) faced the starter for the first time and finished eighth last start at this track (Dirt) over 1106m, beaten 5 lengths. Open to improvement and can feature.
