Del Mar Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
MIO BAMBINO (7) hasn't won recently but looks close to a breakthrough based on his last start third at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) over 1308m when beaten 1.75 lengths. Joel Rosario stays on and although yet to win has been in the money on three occasions. Leading contender. BOWTIE BOYS (2) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.75 lengths from the winner in second over 1609m at Los Alamitos after being in the firing line on the corner. Taking on a better line-up this time but he deserves plenty of thought. BALLYHOOLIGAN (4) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 1.75 lengths away in third over 1609m at Santa Anita (Dirt). Meets a stronger field but he is capable of running a bold race. LEAD PIPE JOE (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1006m at Los Alamitos, beaten just one length. Likely to hold the form and is a strong top-three prospect.

Racing well recently. At the latest run ran second last in a small field at Santa Anita on October 16 over 1207m, 5 len behind Ima Track Star with 55.5kg at $10.70. Before that 2nd of 7 at Los Alamitos on September 13 over 1207m, 0.5 len behind Stagger Lee with 54.5kg at $4.10. Capable of a big finish so don't write him off.

Second-up. First-up after two months ran last in a small field at Santa Anita Turf on October 23 over 1308m, 5 len behind Gazon carrying 56kg at $26.50. Previously second-up 3rd in a small field at Santa Anita Turf on May 24 over 1207m, 7 len behind Matt At Five carrying 54.5kg at $10.20. Unlikely to threaten.
