Santa Anita Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance Optional Claiming

GRUBAUER (6) Ran home strongly to win last run at Pleasanton and have to respect the form at the distance. Won last 2 on the trot. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . CLEVER CLOVER (3) Weakened to finish 4th last time at Pleasanton. Happy to overlook that run. Armando Ayuso and Victor M Trujillo are usually a competitive duo. Can get the job done. ESTABLISHED (7) Had a comfortable win by 3L last start at Pleasanton but will be dropping in distance. Very competitive this preparation. Well placed and has solid claims. THIRSTY FRIEND (1) Finished hard to win last start at Pleasanton and has drawn to do little work. Has run into the money 5 from 5 attempts this campaign and solid career start. A win wouldn't surprise.
