Santa Anita Park Race 6 - Race 6 - Allowance Optional Claiming

START THE RIDE (5) finished fifth last time out over 1811m at Santa Anita, beaten 11 lengths. Has the right profile. UECKER (2) is coming off a last-start fourth, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 1609m at this track. Expecting a bold showing. SOUTHERN MELODEE (4) dug deep to win by 0.3 lengths two runs back at Santa Anita (Dirt) then finished fifth over 1308m at Listed level at Santa Anita (Dirt) last time. Will find this easier. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. One of the main contenders. ALLEQUIN SUMMER (3) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time over 1308m at this track (Turf). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
