Santa Anita Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance Optional Claiming
PROLETARIAT (3) is back from a spell of seven months. Closed last prep with a third, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 1609m at this track. Hard to go past. TAP THE GIN (2) impressed when successful on debut over 1207m at this track (Turf) two months ago. Promising type who can go back-to-back. WORK (4) is a talented colt who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 28 lengths behind Crude Velocity over 1609m in the G2 Pat Day Mile Stakes at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Among the chances on his best figures. JORDI BEAR (5) is a three-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Philip D'amato barn. Hasn't raced since finishing eighth at Curragh eight months ago. Not seen at the trials but is in a nice race. Shapes as a top-three chance.
