Santa Anita Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming

JOINT VENTURE (2) finished 8 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1308m at Del Mar three-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Form this track is hard to knock with three wins from nine starts. Will prove tough to beat. DEL MAR JERRY (6) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then he got a long way back and was beaten 7 lengths when fifth in a 1106m contest at Los Alamitos three weeks ago. Meets some better types this time but a big run will not surprise. MIGHTY KAI (1) has switched yards since finishing fourth five-and-a-half weeks ago over 1609m at Del Mar. Comes here with definite top-three claims. MAJESTIC PALISADES (4) finished seventh two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1609m at Los Alamitos, beaten 1.75 lengths. Best efforts measure up so capable of another big run.
