Santa Anita Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming

BOOK SMART (1) First up after 48 weeks and controlled the speed when winning by 5 1/4L first up last preparation at the track. Likely to be well placed early. Sure to be thereabouts. BARTHOLDY (6) Made every post a winner to win by a margin of 4L last run at Los Alamitos Th. Suitably placed in this race. ZEUS' WAR (5) Improved to place when 2nd last time at Pleasanton and form has been improving over recent runs. Placed at every start this campaign. Goes close. MOMAD (2) First run back from a break. Strong effort to the line to win last time at Del Mar Thoroughbred and having second career run. Has a good draw. Keep in mind.
