Santa Anita Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Starter Optional Claiming
THIRTY TWO CHUNK (6) stuck on well when resuming last start to finish second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after showing good early speed. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race. LETMEIN (2) finds it hard to win with just one success from 10 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1207m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Faces an easier assignment so he is one of the main contenders. IMA TRACK STAR (1) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by half a length over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and he cannot be underestimated. BAZOOKA CHARLIE (3) returns from a spell of four-and-a-half months and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished seventh at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) over 1207m when first-up last time in work.
