Santa Anita Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Starter Optional Claiming

WHISKYGINANDBRANDY (5) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fourth, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Will be handy in the run and should prove hard to run down. GHAZAALY (3) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth and beaten 10 lengths over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Can turn things around. CLOUSEAU (4) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on December 5, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths over 1609m at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. BOWTIE BOYS (1) comes here off a break of 12 weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1609m at this track. Makes plenty of appeal.

At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at this track on April 25 over 1308m, 2.5 len behind Red Flag with 56kg at $12.10. The start before that won by 0.5 len at this track February 22 over 1609m defeating Majestic Palisades carrying 56kg at $10.10. Not far away last time. In the mix again.
