Del Mar Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance Optional Claiming

NONE ABOVE THE LAW (6) is racing well. Scored at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) two back then finished third, beaten 0.2 lengths, over 1710m in Listed grade at this track (Turf) at the latest appearance five weeks ago. Should be poised just off the lead. Leading contender. BALLADEER (3) finished sixth two runs back at Santa Anita (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by one length after being in the firing line on the turn over 1811m at this track (Turf). Meets a stronger field but he is capable of another big run. BALNIKHOV (5) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when tenth, beaten 8 lengths, over 1710m in Listed grade at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf (Turf). Faces an easier assignment so he is a major player. PATH TO POWER (7) recorded his first win when resuming last start over 1811m at this track (Turf), getting home by 3 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Re-unites with Juan J Hernandez who was on board last start. Harder here but should be involved in the finish.

Second run back. First-up after two months ran second last of 9 at this track on August 2 over 1710m, 4.5 len behind News At Ten with 56kg at $10.30. Previously second-up ran second last in a small field at Santa Anita Turf on March 6 over 1811m, 7 len behind Twirling Point carrying 55.5kg at $25.90. Unlikely to threaten.
