Santa Anita Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming
ELWOOD BLUES (2) Close up last start at this venue and strong performer at this trip. Should be going forward early. First race for a new trainer and has a positive draw. Expect a bold showing. THORNE HOUSE (1) Back from a break of 36 weeks. Pulled away to win by a margin of close to 7L last start at Del Mar Thoroughbred. Demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Big chance. TOOK CHARGE (6) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last start at Los Alamitos and returning to a rise in trip. Expecting to settle positively. Serious player. GET HER NUMBER (3) Has a good record first up. Average at best when 10th last start at Kentucky Downs and will be down in distance. Has a great burst of speed late. Exotics and place chance.
