Del Mar Race 4 - Race 4 - Allowance Optional Claiming

LITTLE OPAL (7) showed good speed over 1006m at this track (Turf) and led throughout to score. Same winning combination here and is likely to play a major role. TIGER OF THE SEA (5) improved sharply on her fourth two starts back at this track (Turf) with a win over 1006m at this track (Turf) three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 1.5 lengths after being prominent at the bend. No reason she cannot salute again. YOUNG LOVE (2) is a distance specialist who was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she was never in contention over 1006m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths into fourth. Likely improver with strong prospects. SWEET GAL OF MINE (6) was in the firing line on the corner and finished second last start over 1006m at this track (Turf), beaten 0.8 lengths. Will be rock-hard fit. Likely improver with top-three claims again.

Last start won by a 0.1 len at Los Alamitos Qh on August 22 over 914m defeating Dial A Friend with 57kg at $29.70. The run before that 4th of 7 at Los Alamitos on July 4 over 1106m, 4 len behind Harney Lane carrying 57kg at $14.50. Can't recommend against this lot.

At the latest run came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 8 at this track on August 13 over 1006m, 2.75 len behind Bit's Tiger Magic carrying 54.5kg at $36.60. The start before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily ran second last of 7 at Santa Anita Turf on June 14 over 1207m, 6 len behind Tahini with 57kg at $15.10. Can build on that encouraging effort last start.
