Race 1 Del Mar -- MDN 25K -- 7Fs -- 3+

Contenders--morning line

#3 Son of Dionisi--4/1
#4 Sin City Glow--9/2
#9 Russian Liquor--7/2
#7 Athenry--5/2

If #4 Sin City Glow can run back to its April 30 route, three races back, he can win. The best speed in the race is #9 Russian Liquor, who also has shown good stamina. A great angle play for layoff horses belongs to #3 Son of Dionisi. Horses like him are 21/68 or 31 percent and bettors make $1.80 for every dollar bet.

Finally, Athenry looks OK, but I prefer the others especially if Athenry is favored.

My bets here are $1,000 to win on #3 Son of Dionisi and $600 on #9 Russian Liquor, both at 2/1 or more.
