Del Mar Race 6

Cygames Breeders' Cup Sprint Stakes

Stake: $3,470,320

IMAGINATION (7) was too good last start at Santa Anita, winning at G2 level in fine style when sitting close to the speed. The barrier should give Hernandez options for the powerful Baffert stable. Can build on what he did last start and bring up back-to-back victories. KOPION (1) is the only filly in the field and holds her own on recent ratings. Back to this trip looks an ideal move off what we've seen recently and she boasts more upside than a lot of her rivals. Should get a lovely run from an inside barrier. BENTORNATO (10) bolted in first-up off almost a year after being edged out in this very race last time out. Can jump quickly and roll across from the tricky barrier. Expecting him to give a bold sight from the front. NAKATOMI (8) was too good last start at Keeneland when the race favourite and that form stacks up in this. Can put his best foot forward. STRAIGHT NO CHASER (12) won this race last year and is coming in as good as ever. Include.

Comments

Comes here off a 35-day let-up. Most recently held ground to the line 3rd of 7 at Churchill Downs in the G2 Lukas Classic Stakes on September 27 over 1811m, 4.5 len behind Mystik Dan with 56.5kg at $3.69. The start before that ran on from midfield and won by 2.25 len at Charles Town G2 Charles Town Classic August 22 over 1811m defeating Willy D's carrying 55kg at $3.70. Unbeaten at this trip though he looks unlikely.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 34-day let-up. Most recently 2nd of 8 at Santa Anita in the G2 Santa Anita Sprint Championship on September 28 over 1207m, 1.75 len behind Imagination with 57kg at $5.20. The run before that won by 0.5 len at this track G2 Pat O'Brien Stakes August 23 over 1408m defeating Stronghold carrying 55kg at $3.70. Not far behind Imagination last start and that bodes well.

Second run back. First-up after eight months tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.75 len at Santa Anita G2 Santa Anita Sprint Championship September 28 over 1207m defeating Dr Venkman with 55.5kg at $6.60. Previously second-up 2nd in a small field at Santa Anita on October 26 2024 over 1710m, nose behind Tarantino carrying 54kg at $3. Impressive winner fresh and he can build on that performance.

Second-up. First-up after three months won by a 0.3 len at Keeneland G2 Phoenix Stakes October 3 over 1207m defeating Durante with 55kg at $2.60. Previously second-up 3rd in a small field at Saratoga in the G2 Alfred G Vanderbilt Handicap on July 19 over 1207m, 6 len behind Book'em Danno with 56kg at $6.80. Put up a good figure when winning last start and that holds him in good stead.

Previously second-up 6th of 11 at Meydan Dirt in the G1 Dubai Golden Shaheen on April 5 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Dark Saffron carrying 56kg at $10.

Second run back. Comes off a 49-day let-up. First-up after 11 months won by 5 len at Churchill Downs LR September 13 over 1207m defeating Here Mi Song with 55kg at $2.78. Previously second-up won by a 0.3 len at Parx G2 Gallant Bob Stakes September 21 2024 over 1207m defeating Sunny Breeze carrying 55.5kg at $2. Brilliant in his return and that showed he hadn't lost a yard in his long layoff.

First-up. Finished off last preparation seventh of 10 at Saratoga in the G1 Forego Stakes August 23 over 1408m, 12 len behind Book'em Danno carrying 56kg at $5.90. When resuming last campaign fifth of 11 at Churchill Downs in the G1 Churchill Downs Stakes May 3 over 1408m, 1.4 len behind Mindframe with 56kg at $8.80. Brings the right form into this and has to be included despite his winning drought.

Second run back. First-up after six months held ground to the line 3rd of 8 at Santa Anita in the G2 Santa Anita Sprint Championship on September 28 over 1207m, 2.25 len behind Imagination with 56kg at $1.70. Previously second-up 8th of 11 at Meydan Dirt in the G1 Dubai Golden Shaheen on April 5 over 1200m, 8 len behind Dark Saffron with 59.5kg at $2.30. Missed as favourite last start but his best form is good enough for this.

Comes off a 29 day let-up. Last start 3rd in a small field at Keeneland in the G2 Phoenix Stakes on October 3 over 1207m, 3 len behind Nakatomi with 55kg at $6.87. The race before that tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 8 at Saratoga on August 30 over 1207m, nose behind Acoustic Ave with 56kg at $3.70. Hard to make a winning case.
