Santa Anita Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Allowance Optional Claiming

MATT AT FIVE (7) produced a good effort last start when third over this distance at Del Mar (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths. Form here strong boasting two wins from three starts. Bold showing expected. PRIVATE GEM (2) has recently been thereabouts since scoring at Santa Anita on May 24 2025, the latest effort a fourth over 1006m at Del Mar Turf (Turf). Unplaced at his only previous try at the trip. Should be prominent again. DECAPO (5) returns from a layoff of ten weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1207m at this track. Has to be respected. VALIANT SON (1) returns from a layoff of 11 weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1207m at this track. Definite top-three chance.

Returns from a 55-day let-up. Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 10 at Del Mar Turf on August 16 over 1006m, 1.75 len behind Nasty Habit carrying 55.5kg at $23.30. The start before that raced behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 10 at Del Mar Turf on July 26 over 1006m, 3.5 len behind Mescalero with 55.5kg at $8.60. Not far from the winner last time but this is a tough assignment.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 42 day let-up. Most recently raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 10 at Del Mar on August 29 over 1207m, 6 len behind Roscoe's Brother with 55kg at $5.50. The run before that won by 4.5 len at Del Mar on August 8 over 1207m defeating Special Club carrying 54.5kg at $2. Best form should see him measure right up.
