Del Mar Race 1 - Race 1 - Starter Optional Claiming
HOWIE'S LAW (1) produced a reasonable effort after being in contention on the corner to finish 0.8 lengths away in second last start over 1308m at this track. That followed a first-up win at this track. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. FUMANO'S MAGIC (5) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 14 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. LETMEIN (4) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 7 lengths away in third after he gave away a big start over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. KID CHARLEMAGNE (3) returns after a spell of four months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1710m at Oaklawn Park. Can make his presence felt.
