To the Turf at Del Mar

Thank goodness it's Friday.  We take a look at a terrific Turf battle at that fabulous place near the Pacific Ocean, Del Mar.

Del Mar Race 6 {1 1/16~TURF~3 year olds~Allowance Optional Claiming}
A great race shapes up with a superb field of ten.  There is limited speed or front running types so the race could develop as a Euro style race with a quickening into the turn.  The race should be a fun one.

#7 Ransom Canyon (Gomez / Proctor) gets a slight edge with the highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and three quality workouts.  He could find himself in the mid-pack battle.
$2 SHOW.

#9 Seventh Avenue [IRE] (Bejarano / Bonde) will certainly challenge with the second highest (tie) last out speed number, a three race progression, and one swift bullet workout.  He is another that should find himself in the mid-pack scirmish.
$2 SHOW.

Other Wagering Interests

#10 Buffalo Billy [IRE] (Valdivia / Gallagher) will also be in the mix reaching for the winner's circle.  Sharing the second highest last out speed number, holding a four race progression, and putting in one decent workout, he could track and close well.

#2 Jonny's Choice (D. Flores / Headley) could surprise with the fourth highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and three tremendous peaking workouts.  This guy is ready to hang close to the front ready to push off into the stretch.

#3 Distort This (Talamo / Sadler) should be in the mix while stretching out to this distance.  He has the third highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and two strong workouts.

10 CENT Superfecta

#7 Ransom Canyon / #9 Seventh Avenue [IRE] / #10 Buffalo Billy [IRE] / #2 Jonny's Choice, #3 Distort This.
