    Race Analysis

    EXPLORA (6) was thereabouts last time out when second in the G1 Del Mar Debutante Stakes (Dirt) over 7f, beaten one length. Should be at her peak now. Must respect the stable decision to remove the blinkers. Major player. LA WALLY (3) was thereabouts last time out when third in the G1 Del Mar Debutante Stakes (Dirt) over 7f, beaten 1.5 lengths. Should be at her peak now. The testing material. LA VILLE LUMIERE (2) opened this campaign last start with a fifth, beaten 3 lengths, over 1m at Del Mar. Ticks all the right boxes. HIMIKA (4) is coming off a last-start fourth, beaten 9 lengths, over 7f at Del Mar. Is rarely far away and has amassed two wins from her appearances. Among the main hopes.
