Del Mar Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Special Weight
DASH (8) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at Del Mar, beaten 11 lengths into fourth. Has the talent to find the winners' list. GRADUATION DAY (6) is a two-year-old filly by Curlin out of Force Of Nature set to debut for the Philip D'amato stable. Should acquit herself well. Keep an eye out for any positive market movement. FOREWARN (9) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1308m at Del Mar (Dirt) when third, beaten 16 lengths. Has a wide gate to overcome but she should be in the finish. D'YQUEM (7) is a two-year-old filly on debut from the stable of M W McCarthy. By Golden Pal from Bordeaux Belle. Watch the market closely.
