Del Mar Race 5

Starter Optional Claiming

Prize Money: $49,787

HEMET GOLD (1) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 2.75 lengths over 1106m at Santa Anita (Dirt). Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and he can go on with it. LEGAL HEIR (7) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 11 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 1207m at Santa Anita Turf, beaten 6 lengths. This is a nice drop in grade so he is a major player. SIRNAMI (3) is a last-start winner two-and-a-half weeks ago, scoring by 0.8 lengths over 1207m at Santa Anita Turf. Worth plenty of thought. TEES TOUCH (4) is a promising galloper who got the prize at his only run last prep 17 months ago over 1308m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf). Goes well when fresh including a win and two minor placings. Should park just off the speed. Should give backers a sight. Something for the Multiples: ARTIC POWER (5)
