Del Mar Race 10

Del Mar Debutante S. Stakes

Prize Money: $427,960

MISS MONICA (9) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 1308m at this track (Dirt) four weeks ago. Has plenty of upside and can win again. FREE CLOSER (5) went fast early and went on to score by 8 lengths last time out over 1106m in stakes class at this track (Dirt). Finds a tougher race but a win is not out of the question. HOLMBY (8) showed good speed to stalk the pace before drawing clear to score by 0.3 lengths over 1207m here last time out. Stiffer assignment here but looks up to the task. PANDA LISTEN (1) raced on the pace over 1207m in Listed grade at Thistledown (Dirt) last time and went on to win by 6 lengths. Solid claims.

Had two starts to date. At big odds at debut, struggled in the run home; 5th of 11 at Ellis Park on July 6 over 1106m, 9 len behind Scarlett Begonia carrying 54kg at $45.22. Last start ran on from midfield and scored a big 3 len win at this track on August 2 over 1106m defeating Pacemaker carrying 55.5kg at $3.30. Needs to find extra to beat these.

Second-up 3rd in a small field in the G3 Sorrento Stakes at this track on August 9 over 1207m, 7 len behind Holmby carrying 56kg at $12.70. A top-three finish would surprise.

Yet to taste defeat in two starts. When well in the market on debut, ran on from midfield and won by 2.25 len at this track on July 18 over 1006m defeating Quattro Passi with 55.5kg at $3.50. Last time out raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a 0.3 len in the G3 Sorrento Stakes at this track on August 9 over 1207m defeating Ruiva carrying 56kg at $1.80. Hard to beat on current form.
