Santa Anita Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
IRISH ELEMENT (2) scored two runs back then was popular with punters last time but could only manage to finish fifth over the same trip at this track (Dirt) after he had settled well back. Will enjoy a drop in class so he will be hard to beat. WHITE MOUNTAIN (9) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. AUDIBLE SILENCE (3) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by 0.3 lengths over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Winning rider Alfredo L Bautista sticks and he cannot be discounted. TYPHOON TOMMY (1) was beaten 2.25 lengths into seventh in a 1609m contest at Santa Anita Turf two weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.

At the latest run second last in a small field at this track on March 22 over 1609m, 8 len behind Uncle Evco with 57kg at $3.70. Before that won by 3 len at this track March 13 over 1609m defeating Next Trick carrying 57kg at $1.80. Can make amends.
