Del Mar Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
DREAM SEEKER (2) is yet to break through after three career starts. Could only manage to finish seventh last time out over 1609m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) following a minor placing at this track (Turf) over 1609m the run prior. Big chance to break through. ZIWHAT (8) is a two-year-old colt who is having his first run for the Jerry Hollendorfer yard. Hasn't raced since finishing in the placings in stakes class at Emerald Downs (Dirt) ten weeks ago. Not seen at the trials but looks nicely placed. Bold showing expected. SUMMER MISCHIEF (5) is a two-start maiden who finished sixth, beaten 4.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf). Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come. WILL DO ONE (6) ran below expectations last start, finishing eighth and beaten 18 lengths at Santa Anita (Dirt) over 1609m. Should be thereabouts in this suitable race.
