Santa Anita Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
MORELLO (2) has not appeared since he finished fifth over 1609m at Los Alamitos (Dirt) on December 13. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. CAROL'S COMIC (5) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1106m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. GENTLEMEN'S CLUB (4) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1609m at this track after being in contention on the bend. This doesn't look as hard so he is sure to be right there at the finish. SMARTY NOSE (1) was beaten 4 lengths into fourth over 1106m at this track last time out. Better than recent efforts suggest.
