Santa Anita Park Race 5 - Hollywood Gold Cup S. Stakes
FORGED STEEL (1) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by one length over 1609m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. MALARCHUK (4) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second when resuming last time out over 1811m in stakes class at Sunland Park (Dirt). Perfectly placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. BRITISH ISLES (5) finished sixth last time out over 1911m at Keeneland, beaten 11 lengths. One of the key contenders. SUBSANADOR (3) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1710m at Oaklawn Park, beaten 8 lengths into fourth. Mike E Smith gets the best out of this six-year-old entire. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
