Santa Anita Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

LOW EXPECTATIONS (5) has not appeared since he finished second over 1609m at Los Alamitos (Dirt) on December 5. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. SPIRITIST (2) is progressing well this preparation. Opened with a seventh at Del Mar (Dirt) two starts back then scored by 0.1 lengths last time out after being prominent at the turn over 1609m at Los Alamitos (Dirt). It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of another big performance. KEEP MOVIN' ON (7) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when 12th over 1811m at Del Mar Turf (Turf). Has the ability to produce a better result. BIG JUANITO (6) was in the firing line on the corner and finished third last start over 1609m at Del Mar (Dirt), beaten 16 lengths. Fitter for that run. Placed to advantage so expect another forward showing.
