Del Mar Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Special Weight
JANZ JOY (6) showed good early speed from the inside draw when fresh from a spell last time out, leading for home before finding one better over 1609m at this track (Turf). Sure to go well. MARLA HOOCH (4) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 2.25 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1609m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. ZUZU'S CLASSIC GAL (7) boxed on fairly last time and wasn't beaten far over 1006m at this track (Turf), finishing second. Likely to relish the extra ground and can produce her best form this time. IMPRESSIONISTIC (9) settled well back from a wide draw last time then wound up strongly to finish fifth over 1609m at this track (Turf). Worth including.
