Emily's Analysis

Del Mar Race 1

Post Time 12:05 PM CST
Analysis by Emily Gullikson

Current favorite #6 KANSAS CAT should land the right trip and no excuse on that front. The attention they land currently has the odds drifting on #3 SUCHET recording a B/winning type effort at the level and EX in the DMR Mile. 

Worth a mention #7 WE CAN showing up for a live barn and making a positive PRERACE+ appearance. L. Powell barn with a pair giving the edge all around to #11 ZALAMO of the two .

Playing against ML favorite #8 MODUS BESTIA with the race shape and layoff with alternatives: #3 WAYNE THE BRAIN#10 COMEDY TOWN and #12 RED FLAG

Del Mar Race 3

Analysis by Emily Gullikson

#7 LIGURIA should present value given the complexion of this field with upside off the Yellow Ribbon (G2) at DMR in August. The rider change should assist and a chance for J. Ortiz to redeem themselves after the TACTIC- on Meaning in the Juv Fillies (G1) yesterday. 

Longshot #6 NADETTE can be tougher to trust with overall race record and closing runstyle though has things to suit today's race with the projected number. 

Del Mar Race 4

Analysis by Emily Gullikson

#9 RICHI should be sitting on a peak effort the return to SHORTER one turn is positive off their visuals and intent with L. Saez named a rider that has had success with these type of B. Baffert runners in a compact sample over the past 5 years. 

#1 ZEITLOS also finds a rider change to the positive with J. Rosario jumping back aboard. She has some other hurdles though things that will be clear to the public and one of the longer priced runners in this field accordingly. 

Del Mar Race 10

Post Time 6:05 PM CST
Analysis by Emily Gullikson

#10 JONQUIL fits as a strong contender in this spot off their form and class with upside as a 3yo. They were given a local start and experience against older at KEE last month (B OptixGRADE) and look well out of the race in the am at DMR. 

Both #1 ONE STRIPE and #2 NOTABLE SPEECH can be used alongside as that comes comes out of the WO Mile (G1) common race.
