Santa Anita Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming
CENTRAL DISPATCH (6) is a handy six-year-old gelding who returned from a break last start and finished a nose away in second over 1207m at this track (Turf). Should be in the finish. SPECIAL CLUB (1) drew wide and was pretty plain last time out when 8 lengths from the winner in tenth at this course and distance. J J Hernandez has scored on him two times and is back in the saddle. Bold showing expected. TIGERHON (5) finished fifth two runs back at this track (Turf) then improved last time out to score by a nose after being in contention on the turn over 1207m at this track (Turf). Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. NAFTIS (3) showed good early dash and led throughout to score by 1.5 lengths last time out over 1609m at Santa Anita (Dirt). Among the chances again.
