Santa Anita Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

KAWAZAKI (1) Came on strongly to finish 3rd when beaten by 1 1/2L last time at this track and has minimal work to do from the barrier. Should be going forward early. Will go close today. BALDORO (2) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last time at this track and drawn nicely. Won't be far away during the run. On an upward trajectory in recent races. Cannot underestimate. SMOOTH SALUTE (3) Charged home to win last time at this venue. Finishes off strongly. Rates well in this race. AMERICAN EMPIRE (5) Crept into 4th last start at this track. Will be motoring home late. Could place.
