Del Mar Race 6 - I'm Smokin S. Stakes
NET PAR (6) has put together a couple of wins at this track, the latest on August 7 over 1106m when he got home by 0.1 lengths. Winning rider Juan J Hernandez retains the mount. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. EARLY ENCORE (7) was prominent on the corner and battled on well to finish third last start over 1106m at Listed level at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.3 lengths when fresh from a spell as favourite. In a suitable race and can play a major role. LITTLE KING (1) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when second over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. One to consider. CUPID COWBOY (3) broke his maiden last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 0.3 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Re-unites with Abel Lezcano who was on board last start. This is tougher but he cannot be underestimated.
