21:45 Del Mar Tips

True Love is in stall 9 and runs off 115 after landing the Group 1 Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket. Wayne Lordan and Aidan O'Brien have a strong juvenile strike rate with 60% win and 80% place together this term. Proven over course and distance with plenty of tactical pace to track the speed. Draw and pace both suit, and she holds a solid win chance today.

5f at Del Mar will be all about speed, and of the European horses, I think Havana Anna is the true 5f animal. Whereas the Aidan horses have arguably shown better form over further. She was outstayed by True Love on quick ground in the 6f Cheveley Park last time, but prior to that, she had bolted up at Naas to win by 3.5L over 5f. The runner-up that day has twice won at Listed level since, so the form looks strong. Only 2nd in France on soft ground, but this looks an ideal test, and she can claim this Grade 1 prize.

Schwarzenegger is in stall 11 and runs off 110 after a 5f win at Keeneland, beating Obliteration by half a length. Wesley Ward and John Velazquez have a top strike-rate combo, and he's 67% win and 100% place so far. Course and distance form looks solid for this Grade 1 test, and the pace setup should suit his sharp early speed. Good draw for his style and a genuine win chance.

Very nicely placed on the inside for a handy racer, producing a career-best when dropped to this trip last time out. Handles quick turf well and has the right style to make it in the States.

2 wins & 2 placed runs from last 6 . Both wins over today's 5f trip on good & good to firm ground at Newmarket & at Ascot . Last run came 69 days ago finishing 2nd in Listed at York beaten a head again on good to firm going similar to what will get at Del Mar a course & meeting where trainer C.Appleby excels at .

It's hard to dismiss MISSION CENTRAL, who produced his best effort to date when beating Ardisia in a condition stakes race on Champions Day at Ascot 2 weeks ago. One to watch.

a typically tough juvenile to work out with o;brien holding a good hand with 3 solid types but i;m guessing that james owen wouldnt be sending ASPECT ISLAND across the pond if he didnt think he could improve on his 3rd place behind reopposing brussels. previous run at yarmouth was a very impressive run where he dominated from start to finish, if he gets a good position early could go very well at a price

OBLITERATION hasn't run a bad race to date and rates as a key player after running a good 2nd to Schwarzenegger in the Indian Summer Stakes at Keeneland 4 weeks ago. He has placed five times in five runs (100%) on firm going, winning twice (40%). One to watch.
