    Race Analysis

    STAY HOT (4) returned from a break last start with a modest sixth over 1m1/2f in the G2 Seabiscuit Handicap at Del Mar (Turf), beaten 3. 5 lengths. Record here is sound including three wins from seven starts. Back a level after tackling a tougher race last time. Sure to be there at the finish. CABO SPIRIT (9) finished eighth when when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1m1/2f in the G2 Seabiscuit Handicap at Del Mar (Turf) after racing on the pace for much of the way. Sure to be prominent from the outset. ASTRONOMER (8) wound up strongly but just failed to pick up the winner when fresh from a lay-off last start over 1m1/2f in the G2 Seabiscuit Handicap at Del Mar (Turf). Will strip a lot fitter this time around. Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. MONDEGO (2) disappointed last start when out of the placings over 1m4f in the G2 Hollywood Turf Cup Stakes at Del Mar (Turf), beaten 5 lengths. Finds a suitable assignment and can turn things around.
