Santa Anita Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Special Weight
JONNY'S CAP (10) went forward over 905m at this track (Dirt) last time and held on for third. Should be prominent despite the wide draw. Must respect the stable decision to remove the blinkers. Major player. INSTINCTIVELY (8) stepped out on his debut over 905m at this track (Dirt) a month ago and finished fifth, beaten 10 lengths. Should progress this time and is expected to feature. OLYMPIAN THIRST (1) drifted back on debut last start and failed to come on, finishing seventh over 905m at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with blinkers added. BABY T (3) didn't do a lot on debut three weeks ago, finishing 12 lengths from the winner in sixth over 905m at this track (Dirt). Jumps from a far better gate this time around. Open to plenty of improvement. No surprise to see him improve sharply.

Having third race start. When well in the market at debut, sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at this track on May 1 over 905m, 10 len behind Saluto with 54.5kg at $2.10. Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at this track on May 15 over 905m, 8 len behind He Is No Lie with 54.5kg at $3.90. Well-placed and should prove hard to beat.
