Del Mar Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Special Weight
GENUINE GRACE (2) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing second last time when she was always up in the leading division over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. VOLCANOLOGIST (1) was safely held last time when eighth over 1609m at Del Mar Turf (Turf). May appreciate the step back in journey this time. Key runner on her best form. ACCLAIM PERFECTION (9) is a three-year-old filly on debut by Acclamation from Seasontoperfection who has been a prolific producer including winners at black type level. Sure to be competitive despite an awkward draw. BLAME THE TRACK (3) resumes today after failing to impress on debut running 4 lengths behind Lyndee's Dream at Santa Anita (Dirt) over 1207m. Rates a place chance.

Three-year-old filly (Acclamation - Seasontoperfection) making her debut. A bold showing is expected.
