A Beautiful Del Mar Friday

Today we look at a nice stakes race on the beautiful Turf at Del Mar.

Del Mar Race 5 {Sandy Blue Handicap~1 mile~Turf~3 year old~fillies~Stakes}
Lots of early defections leaves this race with a starting field of seven.  A very even balance of running styles should make this one fascinating.  All must be considered as a possible winner.

#7 Bauble Queen (Bejarano / Kruljak) could have a slight edge with the highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and three strong. peaking workouts.  She should be able to track and close into a steady pace.
$2 SHOW.

#2 Mizdirection (Gomez / Puype) will challenge as the favorite.  She shares the highest last out speed number, is holding a two race progression, and has put in one quality workout.  She should be forwardly placed.
$2 SHOW.

Other Wagering Interests

#8 Dos Lunas (T. Baze / Robbins) will be ready with the second highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and four solid workouts.  She could press and or track hoping to strike in the stretch.

#11 Dynamo (Rosario / Mandella) will be coming off a longer Turf route with the fourth highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and three robust, peaking workouts.  She hopes to have a favourable pace to close into.
