Santa Anita Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Starter Optional Claiming
CAPTAIN SPARROW (6) resumes in a similar race to his only run last prep nine weeks ago when he scored by 2.25 lengths. Should camp just off the leaders. Best form puts him right in this. DIRTY WORDS (1) was well in commission last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when sixth, beaten 7 lengths. Worth another chance. FOUR O SIX CREED (4) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was always well out of his ground over 1207m at this track, beaten 9 lengths into eighth. Nicely placed to get the prize. HAWKER (10) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was beaten 14 lengths into sixth over 1207m at this track. Fitter so expect a better run this time.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 2nd of 9 at this track on March 13 over 1106m, 1.0 len behind Hey Brother carrying 56kg at $4.40. The start before that ran on from midfield and won by 1.3 len at this track February 8 over 1609m defeating Malibu Rocks with 56kg at $4.50. No surprise if he was in the finish.
