Santa Anita Park Race 6 - Race 6 - Claiming

TAPALO (8) has been in the money at its last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1106m at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Today might be its day. KING APOLLO (1) finished eighth when resuming two runs back then progressed nicely last time out after being in contention on the turn to score by 1.3 lengths as favourite over 1106m at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Meeting a deeper field this time but he deserves plenty of thought. YA'LL COME (7) was a gutsy winner two back then finished seventh over 1207m at Del Mar (Dirt) on August 27. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Sure to be competitive. MAGIC CONNECTION (5) turned things around last start and scored by 0.8 lengths over 1006m at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Has his share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.

Comes off a 33 day let-up. Most recently got back early 4th of 7 at Emerald Downs on August 30 over 1308m, 3.5 len behind Fantastic Day with 56.5kg at $3.60. The start before that ran second last of 7 at Emerald Downs on July 31 over 1609m, 7 len behind Elder Mack carrying 56.5kg at $4.55. Not doing enough to threaten the top few today.
