Del Mar Race 3 - Desi Arnaz S. Stakes
HOLMBY (1) is a progressive type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Races well here and rates a top chance again. SEA'S NO JOKE (3) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1609m at Santa Anita (Dirt), scoring by 0.8 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and she is a great chance to go back-to-back. MO CHUISLE (5) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 1207m at Santa Anita (Dirt) six weeks ago. Has upside and is among the chances again. VINO VINO VINO (2) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last start over 1308m at Santa Anita (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths. Will be rock-hard fit. In the right race and is sure to be prominent.
