Santa Anita Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
MAGNIFY (6) is ready to win after he just missed last time, beaten half a length into second over 1609m at this track (Dirt) after being in the firing line all the way. Will need a good ride from Antonio Fresu off the awkward draw. Likely improver with strong prospects. COACH CRONIN (2) was an effortless winner last time over 1609m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 5 lengths. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Will prove tough to beat. BERLIN WALL (3) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 8 lengths away in third over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. VOLDEMORT (1) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing sixth and beaten 43 lengths. Well placed to turn things around.

Comes off a 62 day let-up. Last start second last of 7 at this track on March 8 over 1609m, 43 len behind Ghazaaly with 55.5kg at $2.30. Before that 2nd in a small field at this track on February 8 over 1710m, 0.5 len behind Clooney carrying 55.5kg at $2.20. Better than that recent plain performance suggests.

Comes here off a 34-day let-up. At the latest run second last in a small field at this track on April 5 over 1609m, 18 len behind Mc Vay with 56kg at $17.30. The run before that ran last of 10 at Turf Paradise Turf in LR on February 11 over 1509m, 23 len behind Silent Runner with 55.5kg at $17.90. Would rather see in something easier.
