Santa Anita Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
MAGNIFY (1) has recorded three minor placings from three starts this preparation, the latest when third as a well-fancied conveyance over 1609m at this track (Dirt). He is well placed to break through. BERLIN WALL (4) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 0.8 lengths away in second over 1609m at this track (Dirt) when he was prominent throughout. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. MR DISRESPECTFUL (6) disappointed at his last run four-and-a-half months ago when eighth in stakes class at Santa Anita Turf (Turf), that effort following back-to-back wins. Anticipating a strong return to racing. BALLADEER (2) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 23 lengths away in fifth over 2012m at Santa Anita Turf. Better than recent efforts suggest.

Second run back. Comes off a 47-day let-up. First-up after two months came from midfield and won by 9 len at this track April 19 over 1609m defeating Ghostwritten carrying 57kg at $2.30. Previously second-up 2nd of 9 at Santa Anita Turf on January 8 over 1609m, 0.1 len behind Sweet Odyssey carrying 56kg at $4.90. Worth consideration.
