Santa Anita Park Race 3 - John Shear S. Stakes
TRACK TIGER (5) finished fourth two runs back in stakes class at this track (Turf) then improved last time out to score by 2 lengths after being in contention on the bend over 1308m at this track (Turf). Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field. LATER THAN PLANNED (3) has had two runs since a break, the latest a fifth over 1609m in stakes class at this track (Turf), beaten 1.75 lengths. Strips fitter so a big run is likely. IRISEACH (1) turned in a sound effort last time but found a couple better in stakes class at this track (Turf) over 1609m, beaten a neck. Is going well this campaign, recording a win and two minor placings from five starts. Expected to be competitive. CARO BUONO (2) resumed last time out and finished fourth over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.1 lengths. Right in the contest.
