Del Mar Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Special Weight
CHEEVER (2) has registered two minor placings from three runs this preparation. Produced another good performance last time out when third over 1408m at Santa Anita (Dirt) after he was always up in the leading division. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. DUNTOV (5) is a nicely bred three-year-old colt making his first appearance at the races. By Maxfield from Bible Belt who has produced plenty of winners. A product of the strong juvenile stable of Bob Baffert. Promising type who can make a positive start to his career. NOBLE TESTAMENT (3) is a two-start maiden who filled a minor placing at Los Alamitos (Dirt) at the last run before spelling. Jockey Mike E Smith back aboard. Rates highly and is one of the main hopes. MONUMENTAL (7) closed last prep nine weeks ago when he finished fifth over 1609m at this track. Hard to knock.
