Del Mar Race 7 - Del Mar Juvenile Turf S. Stakes
OFF IN THE CORNER (8) impressed when successful on debut over 1006m at this track (Turf) five weeks ago. Promising type who can go back-to-back. SHADOW NATION (5) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1006m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) three-and-a-half months ago and has not been produced since. Sure to be further improved and can make it back-to-back wins. GOLDEN SENTRY (4) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1006m at this track (Turf) a month ago. Will come on following that run and looks a definite threat. OBSERVED (3) went forward and proved too strong on debut last start, scoring with 0.8 lengths to spare over 1509m at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf (Turf). Among the top-three contenders.
