Santa Anita Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Starter Optional Claiming

JOINT VENTURE (1) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just half a length away in second over 1609m at this track (Dirt) after being prominent from the outset. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. DURAN (5) turned in a fine effort to win by half a length at this course and distance when resuming from a spell last start. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. DRUIDIC (7) hit the line nicely last time to grab third, beaten 2 lengths, over today's journey at Santa Anita Turf (Turf). Has a win and two minor placings from four starts at this track and distance. Should be competitive. SO I'M TOLD (6) ran below expectations last start, finishing fifth and beaten 8 lengths at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) over 1609m. Should be thereabouts in this suitable race.
