Del Mar Race 6 - Race 6 - Mdn Special Weight
ZAKIEL (8) did a good job last start to finish second at this track (Dirt) over 1609m, beaten half a length. Should be at his peak now. Blinkers added in a positive sign from the stable. CORNEALEUSTHEGREAT (7) last appeared three-and-a-half weeks ago over 1207m at this track when he finished second. This is his first run for the Philip D'amato stable. Sure to be primed for this. MICKEY (1) is third up today. Turned in a better run last time when third, beaten 4 lengths, at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Should be at his peak now. HEMET GOLD (4) is on debut. By Gato Del Oro and comes from the Hector O Palma stable. Watch the market closely.

Was at long odds at debut, sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 9 at this track on August 2 over 1106m, 1.3 len behind Driftingandreaming with 56kg at $27.90. Good effort on debut but this looks a stern test.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 2nd of 11 at this track on August 13 over 1207m, 3 len behind Van Gogh Style with 54.5kg at $21. The race before that 2nd in a small field at Los Alamitos on June 26 over 1609m, 1.0 len behind Proud Racer carrying 54.5kg at $7.40. Everything points towards a big run.
