DEL MAR PICK 4 (RACES 8-11)

RACE 8

KEY's - BLUE TONE

BLUE TONE disappointed last time when regressing chasing the new Soi Phet while between rivals; may prefer being outside into the lane.

B's - NORTHERN IOWA, HOLY CANDY

RACE 9

KEY's - SECRET COMPASS

SECRET COMPASS is ideally drawn for today's seven furlong stake. This Baffert runner will be a much higher price than his uncoupled entrymate who drew the rail.

B's - AWESOME BABY, CONCAVE, SHE’S A TIGER

RACE 10

KEY's - CHINA PRINCE earned ok figure finishing runnerup last winter to future multiple stake winner; barn has been starting to heat up recently. MEYDAN MAGIC had a bit of tough luck last out and may be running today at his optimum distance.

B's - ROOKIE SENSATION

C's - UNDER REVIEW

RACE 11

KEY's - MOON RIDE, WASTED AT MIDNIGHT, TAPPINGINTHERAIN, SCHERZINGER, MISS CHARMING

MOON RIDE earned a solid figure last autumn as a 2yo. WASTED AT MIDNIGHT has the top last out Beyer. TAPPINGINTHERAIN returns to preferred surface after unsuccessful turf foray. SCHERZINGER returns to the races off the eight month layoff and can't be ignored with the Hall of Fame connections. MISS CHARMING has two sharp recent gate drills over the track readying for debut for Miller.
