Santa Anita Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Starter Optional Claiming
SENDIT MO (2) broke through for his maiden win over 1106m at Del Mar (Dirt) last time, scoring comfortably. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Looks well placed and he is likely to feature in the finish again. TRACK TIGER (5) is a talented colt who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 13 lengths behind Unrivaled Time over 1609m in the G3 Cecil B. DeMille Stakes at Del Mar (Turf). Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and a placing from four starts. Bold showing expected. MARCOS PERFORMANCE (3) went forward last time and battled on gamely to finish just half a length from the winner in third over 1106m at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. COURT OF APPEAL (6) is a three-year-old colt who is having his first run for the Vladimir Cerin yard. Resumes after finishing sixth at Keeneland (Dirt) at his last run three months ago. Not seen at the trials but looks well placed. Not to be underestimated.
