Santa Anita Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance Optional Claiming

ULTIMATE GAMBLE (4) missed the frame when resuming last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt) but wasn't all that far from the winner. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Expecting a bold showing. COALINGA ROAD (2) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest effort a fourth beaten 3 lengths over 1609m in stakes class at this track (Turf). Yet to break through at this journey but has placed at all four tries and is expected to feature. DUAL THREAT (3) improved sharply on his fifth two starts back at this track (Dirt) with success over 1710m at this track (Dirt) four weeks ago, getting home by 0.3 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. CLOONEY (5) turned in a fine effort to score by 3.5 lengths at this track and distance when resuming from a spell last time out. Finds another suitable race and can do it again.

Third-up today. Resuming sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 10 at this track on April 27 over 1609m, 0.3 len behind Ashcroft carrying 56kg at $33.40. Second run from a spell held ground to the line 2nd of 7 at this track on May 27 over 1710m, 3 len behind Midnight Mammoth carrying 56kg at $1.90. Rates highly and is among the main hopes.
