Santa Anita Park Race 12 - Race 12 - Allowance Optional Claiming
THE OLD NINE (3) went around over this course and distance last time and led from the outset to score by half a length. Goes well over this trip, filling a placing at all five starts, including a win and should be in the finish. KING STEPHEN (8) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1308m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Fitter and sure to run well. ROGUE LEGEND (5) is fresh from a spell of seven months and did hit the frame when last resuming in Listed grade at Colonial Downs Turf (Turf) over 1106m. In a different yard now. Comes here with definite top-three claims. VALIANT SON (11) built on a nice third when fresh from a spell two starts back at this track (Turf) with success as favourite over 1207m at this track (Turf) five weeks ago, getting home by 1.75 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run.

Second run back. First-up after a year tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at Santa Anita on May 10 over 1207m, 2.75 len behind The Last Straw carrying 57kg at $2.70. Previously second-up won by 0.8 len at this track April 5 2025 over 1308m defeating Idaho Once with 55.5kg at $2.20. Unlikely to threaten.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Comes off a 56 day let-up. First-up tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd in a small field at Turf Paradise on March 18 over 1006m, 0.3 len behind Where's The Loot with 55.5kg at $5.10. Second-up tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 9 at this track on April 19 over 1006m, nose behind Ballyvaughan Gig carrying 57kg at $6. Hard to make a winning case.
