Del Mar Race 2

Allowance Optional Claiming

Prize Money: $117,562

RED CHERRY (2) has not raced since she finished second over 1609m at Santa Anita Turf on May 15. Ready to run well. SOUL SISTER (5) recorded a strong maiden win over 1609m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) last time, getting there by 1.5 lengths. Winning rider Tiago Josue Pereira stays aboard and she is a great chance to go back-to-back. VICTORIOUS DREAM (3) comes here off a break of ten weeks. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1811m at Santa Anita Turf. Has found the right race and is worth including. PEPPERMINT DASH (1) has not been produced since she scored on debut over 1308m at Santa Anita Turf on April 4. One of the contenders.

Resuming. Only had one start last preparation eased back early on 4th of 7 at Santa Anita Turf on May 15 over 1609m, 5.5 len behind Peanutbutterbombe with 54.5kg at $7.60. When resuming last campaign ran on strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 11 at Craon on June 11 2025 over 1300m, 4 len behind Royal Bay Cen with 55kg at $16. Might need the run.
