Santa Anita Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Allowance Optional Claiming

LAVENDER LOVE (5) scored a 3.5 lengths win on dirt at this track two starts ago. Followed up with a minor placing on turf at Santa Anita Turf over 1609m two-and-a-half weeks ago. Armando Ayuso sticks. Leading contender. NANCI GRIFFITH (4) turned in a strong run over this course and distance last time, settling well back then unleashing in the straight to get up for third. Form here over this distance is very good with a win and three minor placings from four starts. Expected to be in the finish. SHARED FUTURE (2) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 1.3 lengths at this track (Dirt). Has a decent record at this track with three wins and five minor placings from 10 starts. Armando Aguilar has scored on her three times and is back in the saddle. Sure to be competitive. DONTTELLOURWIVES (1) was never in contention when resuming last start over 1207m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf), finishing eighth and beaten 16 lengths. Solid contender in this line up. Something for the Multiples: NORMANDY QUEEN (3)

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 43-day let-up. Most recently 3rd in a small field at this track on April 2 over 1609m, 2.5 len behind Shared Future carrying 55.5kg at $4.10. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a 0.1 len at Santa Anita Turf January 31 over 1609m defeating Mayacama carrying 56kg at $9.90. Looks perfectly placed to score in this small field.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run sat on the pace when 3rd of 7 at Santa Anita Turf on April 26 over 1609m, 3 len behind Mi Confesion with 57kg at $3.10. Before that won by 3.5 len at this track March 13 over 1609m defeating Dorie Miller with 56kg at $6.10. Meets a small field and looks tough to beat.
