Race 9 DEL MAR:
#1 Kona Coast. 4-1 ML
Huge class drop from OPTIONAL CLAIMERS down to 20k non winners of 3 lifetime. Excuse in last race was likely the blinkers prior to that he broke bad, This major class relief is just what this once talented gelding needs. Drops in class, Blinkers off, two good works since last race, Doug is dropping Kona with his friends. Field came up pretty weak for level, no world beaters in here. If KONA has 75% of the talent he showed at SANTA ANITA he wins.
