Check out my Saturday (8-10-24) Del Mar Race 5 analysis below.

DMR 5 (G3 Sorrento, 6f) – Post Time 7:02pm EDT
Primary – #1 NOONI
Secondary – #2 Casalu, #4 Vodka With a Twist

Horse Comments:

#1 Nooni (6-5) showed stakes ability in a romping victory by 9 1/2 lengths at 20 cents on the dollar in her career debut on June 13. She jumped out to a clear lead early last time and made it look easy. They paid $1.8 million for this promising daughter of Win Win Win and she should be tough to beat in this spot.

#2 Casalu (7-2) is a $775k daughter of Caracaro and she cruised to an easy front running win as the heavy favorite in her local 5f bow on July 21. She gives Bob Baffert a strong 1-2 punch.

#4 Vodka With a Twist (3-1) moved to the Phil D’Amato barn after a front running maiden win, and she went all the way again as the favorite in the Debutante on June 30. She sports three local works for this.
