Del Mar Race 1 - Race 1 - Allowance Optional Claiming
BIT'S TIGER MAGIC (4) returned from a spell last start with a strong win by 1.75 lengths over 1006m at this track (Turf). Unbeaten in two starts when second-up and will be a tough nut to crack again. SARATOGA SPECIAL (3) sat on the pace when fresh from a spell last start but faded late and finished 1.75 lengths back in sixth over 1006m at Listed level at this track (Turf). Should camp just off the leaders. Expecting a bold showing. TAHINI (2) came home strongly last start to finish third, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 1006m at this track. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Sure to be competitive. CERTITUDE (5) has been freshened up since racing on the speed and fading to finish fifth over 1609m in Listed grade at this track (Turf) on July 25. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Should give backers a sight.
