Del Mar Race 4

Del Mar Futurity Stakes

Prize Money: $427,960

HUGHES (4) pushed forward and led throughout to score a 7 length win over 1207m in the G3 Best Pal Stakes at this track (Dirt) last time. Penalised at the weights this time but is a leading hope. DOMUS (5) led all the way to score as favourite on debut over 1106m at this track (Dirt) six weeks ago. Will come on following that run and looks tough to hold out again. PHONE BOOTH (1) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish second over 1207m in the G3 Best Pal Stakes at this track (Dirt). Will be hard to run down again. DANG SON (3) is a last-start winner three weeks ago, scoring by one length over 1609m at Del Mar Turf. Well placed and likely to feature.
