Santa Anita Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Optional Claiming
FRACTIOUS (1) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1207m at Del Mar (Dirt) when second, beaten 3 lengths. Sure to take a lot from that hitout so he will be hard to beat. MAGIC WAVE (8) turned in a solid run on debut last start, beaten 4 lengths into second at Los Alamitos (Dirt) over 1207m. Likely improver so he shouldn't be a maiden for long. BOSS MAN BOLT (6) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing 16 lengths away in third over 1609m at Del Mar (Dirt) when he was handy all the way. Tackling a more suitable race so he is sure to prove hard to beat. GRAND INDIAN (2) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 5.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1207m at Del Mar (Dirt). Improver worth including.
