Race Tip

MOTORIOUS (6) wound up strongly only to just miss when fresh from a lay-off last start over 5f in the G1 Breeders Cup Turf Sprint at Del Mar (Turf). Will strip a lot fitter this time around. Has the talent to go one better. UNCONQUERABLE KEEN (5) finished third two runs back at this track (Turf) then improved last time out to score by half a length over 5f in stakes class at Del Mar (Turf). Umberto Rispoli scored on him last time and retains the mount. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is up to the task. SUMTER (3) has been kept fresh since finishing 11th over 1m1/2f in the G2 Seabiscuit Handicap at Del Mar (Turf) four weeks ago. Was a determined winner two runs back. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Should be involved in the finish. CENTRAL DISPATCH (7) scored last start at Del Mar (Turf) to make it two wins from three starts this campaign. Should be poised just off the lead. Solid claims on best form.
