Santa Anita Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Allowance Optional Claiming

SMOOVIN SATURDAY (7) is a talented colt who was well held last time in tougher grade over 1609m in stakes class at Santa Anita Turf (Turf). Form this campaign has been strong with two wins to his credit. Leading contender. FIONELLO (6) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1207m at this track, beaten only half a length. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. SCATALOTADINGDONG (2) broke through for his maiden win over 1609m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) last time, scoring comfortably. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Looks well placed and he cannot be discounted. SOUTHERN MELODEE (4) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was in contention on the turn before being beaten 2.5 lengths into fifth over 1207m at this track. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
