Del Mar Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Special Weight
FIRST OR LAST (4) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when second at Del Mar Turf (Turf) over 1006m. Has ability and is one of the leading chances. CONVO (7) raced on the speed from the outset when resuming last start and finished third, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. HIGH SOCIETY U (2) returned from a spell six weeks ago when she was beaten 6 lengths into fourth over 1006m at Del Mar Turf. Likely improver with strong prospects. CHERRY CIDER (3) resumes from a spell of eight months. Could only manage to finish sixth at the latest run over 1207m at Santa Anita (Dirt). Rates highly on best form and a bright return wouldn't surprise.
