Del Mar Race 7 - Race 7 - Mdn Special Weight
DREAM SEEKER (2) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1609m at this track (Turf). Big chance based on that effort. BLIKSEM (4) ran well on debut last start to finish second over 1006m at this track (Turf) in a tougher race. Likely improver so he will be hard to beat. WILDCATTER (10) finished fourth two runs back on debut then improved last start but found one better over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. MAXIFY (3) is a two-year-old rig on debut. From an elite family that includes black type success, being by Justify from Atayeb. Promising type who cannot be left out of calculations.
