DEL MAR Race #5

August 14, 2015

Top pick: #5 (LILY KAI) (3-1) - Lightly-raced Dizney home bred has early speed and finished third here at this level going a 1/16th longer July 23. She's worked since and daughter of 'Unusual Heat' gets the slightest of edges in a competitive field.

2nd pick: #11 (Moonie) (8-1) - Long shot stretches out in distance and moves from dirt to turf for this attempt. Reddam home bred finished a pace-setting second here at this level going 6-furlongs on the main track July 17. It was her first since late October and she's worked fast since. Price play.

3rd pick: #10 (Ticaboo) (5-1) - Filly has finished second in both starts since moving to the turf June 13. Speed/stalker was a length in front of 'Lily Kai' here July 23 and should be involved from start-to-finish. Win candidate.

4th pick: #6 (Almost Reality) (5-1) - Harris home bred by 'Desert Code' raced evenly while wide in the same last race as both 'Lily' and 'Ticaboo'. She had a tough outside post that afternoon, draws better, and has both Lasix and blinkers added.
