Santa Anita Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Starter Optional Claiming
CHIEF RESIDENT (7) got off the mark over 1609m at this track (Turf) last start, scoring by 1.3 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Re-unites with Emisael Jaramillo who was on board last start. Capable of making it two on the trot. CLASSICO (2) turned in a fine effort to win by 2 lengths at this track and distance when resuming from a spell last start. Nicely placed to score once again. WON FOR LOU (8) made progress last time out, finishing 7 lengths from the winner in third when he made late ground at the end of 1308m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Has the talent to find the winners' list. ALLEQUIN SUMMER (3) started this prep with a win then not disgraced last time out when fourth over 1207m at Santa Anita, beaten 2.25 lengths. Best figures measure up so deserves another chance.

Having third race start. At long odds at debut, 9th of 11 at this track on January 18 over 1207m, 9 len behind Honey's Choice carrying 55.5kg at $41.30. Last start favourite; won by 5 len at Santa Anita February 20 over 1207m defeating Texas Wildcat with 55.5kg at $2.50. Not doing enough to threaten the top few today.

Comes off a 37 day let-up. Most recently in a small field at Santa Anita on February 20 over 1207m, 3.5 len behind One Happy Dude carrying 54.5kg at $5. The run before that ran last in a small field at this track on January 19 over 1207m, 5 len behind Ventry Strand carrying 54.5kg at $14.30. Might just find this lot a bit smart.

Form hard to fault. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.3 len at this track March 13 over 1609m defeating Flash Of Lightning carrying 55.5kg at $10.70. The start before that 4th of 7 at Santa Anita on January 18 over 1106m, 3.5 len behind Straight Buzzin carrying 55.5kg at $3.50. Can measure up again.
