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

ROMANTIC RIDE (5) was thereabouts last time out when second at this track (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten 0.1 lengths. Is in solid form this time in work, scoring two times and placing on three occasions from six starts. Among the leading chances. COURTSIDE ACTION (3) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1207m at this track (Dirt) five-and-a-half weeks ago. Promising type who can measure up again. TOMMY NORRIS (2) was below his usual level on the dirt track two back when fourth over 1308m at this track. Missed the placings again last time on turf over 1207m at Santa Anita Turf. Will be hard to beat back to the dirt. SOUTHERN MELODEE (6) was beaten 10 lengths into fifth over 1609m at Santa Anita Turf a month ago. Armando Ayuso gets the best out of this three-year-old gelding. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.

Most recently second last in a small field at Santa Anita Turf on May 24 over 1207m, 8 len behind Matt At Five with 55.5kg at $7.60. The start before that 4th in a small field at this track in LR on April 4 over 1308m, 4.5 len behind Fionello carrying 55.5kg at $12.70. Deserves another chance.

Freshened since claiming his maiden victory on debut; ran on from midfield and scored a big 5.5 len win at this track April 30 over 1207m defeating Charmz Away carrying 54.5kg at $14.40. Drawn perfectly and he is a top chance.

Returns from a 43-day let-up. Last start second last of 8 at Santa Anita Turf on April 25 over 1609m, 7 len behind Savage Warden carrying 55.5kg at $7.50. The race before that 3rd in a small field at Santa Anita Turf on April 5 over 1609m, 2.5 len behind Scatalotadingdong carrying 54.5kg at $9. Not doing enough to threaten the top few today.
