Santa Anita Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance Optional Claiming
PEPPERMINT DASH (6) impressed when successful on debut over 1308m at this track (Turf) ten weeks ago and has not raced since. Has plenty of upside and can win again. WILL HAPPEN (1) changes rider since being well held last time in sixth over 1308m in the G3 Senorita Stakes at this track (Turf) on May 9. Forgive that latest effort. In the mix. JASMINA (4) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Nicely placed to take this out. FLAMINGO STAR (5) pushed forward and was a determined winner by 9 lengths over 1207m at Santa Anita (Dirt) last time out. Must be respected.
