Santa Anita Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
MICI'S EXPRESS (1) settled well back when 28 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1609m at Santa Anita Turf last start, a less impressive effort than his fifth at this track the run before. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. GRANDISIMO (3) has been in good form, scoring three back at this track (Dirt) then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing second when he was prominent throughout over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. TIGGRRR WHITWORTH (4) improved sharply on his fifth two starts back at this track (Dirt) with a win over 1609m at this track (Dirt) four weeks ago, getting home by half a length after being in the firing line on the corner. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. TEE N OFF (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 lengths into fourth. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
