Del Mar 6th Race – Post: 4:38 PT. Degree of confidence: A-
Top Selection: Cavalieri
Other Contenders: none.
Forecast: Cavalieri finally makes it to the post late in her three year old season and we suspect the wait will be worth it based on the way she’s been training. The daughter of Nyquist, a $900,000 OBS purchase in April, 2023, has easily handled all comers in her morning trial despite never really being asked to show her best stuff, and while debuting around two turns is never and easy task she appears to have the speed and class to handle this assignment and then go on to bigger and better things. The B. Baffert stable hits at a sensational 29% with first timers, so there’s little concern about her readiness. At 8/5 on the morning line, she’s a confident win play and rolling exotic single.

Del Mar 8th race – Post: 5:38PT. Degree of confidence: B
Top Selection: 1-Runamileinmyshoes
Other Contenders: 3-Stop Digging.
Forecast: In her ninth career start, Runamileinmyshoes finally gets a chance on dirt, the surface that she’s bred to prefer, so we’re expecting a considerable amount of improvement by the daughter of Street Boss in this allowance optional claiming main track miler for fillies and mares. Fresh from earning a career top speed figure when a close fifth in a similar affair on the sod here last month, she continues to impress in her main track workouts, lands the cozy inside post, and retains regular pilot J. Hernandez, so the starts are aligned for winning effort. A versatile sort who can win on the front end or from a second flight, stalking position, the J. Mullins-trained sophomore is listed at 3-1 on the morning line and offers a sound gamble at that price in the win pool and in the various exotics.
