Santa Anita Park Race 6 - Race 6 - Claiming
IRISH ELEMENT (3) did a great job to score by 3 lengths over this course and distance last start in a far better run. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to cope. UNCLE EVCO (2) gave a bold display over this course and distance last start, racing on the speed and boxing on well to finish third and beaten 2.75 lengths. Nicely placed to play a major role. MACHO MAN (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1308m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Fitter so expect a better run this time. ONE HAPPY DUDE (4) raced close to the lead before clearing out to score an effortless 2 lengths win over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time. Solid top-three chance.
