Check out my Friday (11-13-26) Del Mar Race 7 analysis below.

DMR 7 (OC-20k/1x, CA-bred, 8f) – Post Time 6:35 PM ET
Primary – #4 MAJESTIC PALISADES, #5 Sogno Di Vino
Secondary – #6 Keep Dancin Nick

Horse Comments:

#4 Majestic Palisades (2-1) landed the show in three of his last five flat mile dirt starts. He has been a fairly reliable trifecta player since November 2025 (14 2-3-4). He was 24-1 at SA Oct. 30 and missed the show by a half-length. Juan Hernandez takes the call and he might snap his 12-race losing streak this afternoon.

#5 Sogno Di Vino (5-2) stalked the pace and landed the place in a claiming turf route at DMR July 31 and winner Tribal clicked right back. He stalked and weakened to 9th of 12 in a CA-bred OC-20k/1x turf route as a 41-1 longshot Aug. 22. He was back in a restricted claimer Oct. 9 and stalked and scored as the favorite, and Gary Stute claimed him for $25k. He rallied to win another turf route at SA Oct. 30. Stute is 6 for his last 13 and he might be able to click right back on the surface switch. He graduated in a flat mile dirt race June 2025 and Stute is a profitable 19% with his turf/dirt starters.

#6 Keep Dancin Nick (4-1) switches surfaces for Steve Miyadi and he is a profitable 20% with his turf/dirt starters. The last time he competed on the main track, he rallied to win by 1 3/4 lengths at LRC September 2025 (CA-bred OC-20k/1x, 8f).
