Santa Anita Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Claiming

MAGIC CONNECTION (1) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time out. Hard to beat once again. BOLT SUPREMACY (3) was below his best last time when ninth over 1609m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf), beaten 55 lengths. This doesn't look as hard so he will be hard to beat. NOVINOPHOBIA (7) has been out of the winners list for a long time, last start finishing third at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Yet to win here but has recorded some good runs including four places and gets chance to break through. JAMES J BRADDOCK (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 914m at Los Alamitos Qh, beaten 7 lengths. Strips fitter and can figure in the finish.
