Santa Anita Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance Optional Claiming

VENTRY STRAND (1) is racing well, scoring two back at this track (Turf) before finishing half a length from the winner in second last time over 1609m at this track (Turf). Can return to winning form. ROMANTIC RIDE (6) scored by 1.75 lengths last time out over 1207m at this track (Turf). Yet to miss the placings here in an excellent record which boasts two wins and one placing. Expect a bold showing. VICKY LYN (4) went fast early and went on to score by half a length last time out over 1609m at this track (Turf). Likely improver with strong prospects. UECKER (2) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1609m at Santa Anita (Dirt). Winning rider Adrian Escobedo sticks. Best figures stack up.
