Santa Anita Park Race 9 - San Juan Capistrano S. Stakes
GOLD PHOENIX (6) lines up on the back of a 8 length seventh over 1811m at Churchill Downs Turf. Ideally placed to score. AMERICAN HOPE (4) did his best work late to score by 0.8 lengths at the most recent appearance over 1811m at this track (Turf) at the second run of the campaign. Big chance make it two on end. RIMPROTECTOR (7) finished second two runs back at Turf Paradise (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 0.3 lengths over 2213m in Listed grade at Turf Paradise Turf (Turf). This looks a sterner test than last time but on current form he is capable of another big performance. GOLDENEYE (9) has switched yards since finishing tenth a month ago over 2213m at Churchill Downs Turf. Sure to make his presence felt.
