Do we dare try and beat Lava Man again? Tough post, new surface at Del Mar are obstacles, plus 13-horse field.

I'm looking for an offshore prop involving the final time. Strong lean to the over if I can find one. {my line 2:04.1}

personally prefer Student Council (trainer change 1st time out wins at 23% clip) , Tiago (getting 7 pounds), Awesome Gem (possible bounce but like his price), and even Salty Humor (last time out 5w trip) over the fav.

#3 Sun Boat 1st

Sun Boat is a good choice. Baze is the top rider at Delmar I believe. Albertus Maximus will be my long shot play. Maybe looking for one more long shot to play in this ... Hello Sunday or Student Council perhaps.

#3 Sun Boat 1st
#10 Big Booster 2nd

Sun Boat finished last beaten 45 lengths, hardly a noble beast in this race.
