Santa Anita Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
JAGUAR JON (4) was prominent at the corner and finished 2.25 lengths away from the winner in second last start at this track (Dirt) over 1106m Has found the frame in all seven starts at this journey, including four wins. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Best figures should see him run well. MR MACHUPICCHU (2) resumes from a spell of nine weeks after closing off last preparation with three consecutive minor placings. Yet to break through here over this distance but has never missed the placings in five starts. A bold showing is expected. TIGER IN MY TANK (3) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for third last start over 1106m at this track (Dirt), making it two minor placings in a row. Likely improver with strong prospects. LETMEIN (9) is a strong fresh performer back after a break of nine months and looking to emulate his win at this track to kick off the last campaign. Sure to make his presence felt.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a 0.1 len at Los Alamitos Qh March 15 over 914m defeating Atomic Drop with 57kg at $2.60. Second run from a spell 3rd of 7 at Los Alamitos Qh on April 12 over 796m, 0.8 len behind Run Abboudy Run with 57kg at $3. Likely to find them too smart.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign sixth of 10 at Del Mar July 18 over 1207m, 5.5 len behind Pokerknightatvees carrying 55.5kg at $3.50. When resuming last campaign second in a small field at this track June 14 over 1308m, 3 len behind Mining District carrying 56kg at $2. Cannot make a strong case.

Gelding returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last preparation sixth of 12 at Del Mar August 10 over 1106m, 5 len behind Sir Rocket carrying 53.5kg at $7.60. Previous preparation first-up to post a big 12 len win. This track April 6 2025 over 1207m defeating Jennys Tiz with 53.5kg at $2. Worth keeping in mind.
