Santa Anita Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Starter Optional Claiming
A GREAT SHAKING (2) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when second over 1207m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. FAMOUS FORZA (1) is back from a spell of 12 weeks. Closed last prep with a third, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 1609m at this track. Likely to feature. CELESTIAL SKIES (3) turned in a modest performance when ninth last time out over 1609m at this track, beaten 13 lengths. That followed a win at Santa Anita at the previous outing. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. TINY PRANCER (6) returns from a spell of 13 months and did win first-up last time in work over 1207m at Santa Anita (Dirt). One of the genuine hopes in the race.
