Del Mar Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming
HE'S A KNOCKOUT (10) was prominent throughout when winning fresh over 1408m in stakes class at this track (Dirt). Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Likely to feature. SEPTEMBERSIXTYFOUR (6) was beaten 1.5 lengths into second when returning from a spell and tackling a dirt track for the first time last start over 1308m at this track. Second-up record is strong and is a winning chance. MATT AT FIVE (8) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second at this track (Dirt) two starts back then landed the prize by 4.5 lengths as favourite last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. THIRSTY REBEL (2) returns after a spell of three-and-a-half months. Looking to emulate his win at this track at the beginning of last prep. Makes plenty of appeal.
