Santa Anita Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming

MICI'S EXPRESS (1) finished out of the money two starts back then he was never in contention and was beaten 3 lengths when fourth in a 1308m contest at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Finds an easier assignment and can find winning form. TIGGRRR WHITWORTH (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Has the ability to figure prominently. KEEP MOVIN' ON (6) is backing up eight days after finishing third over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Good effort last start and a bold showing is likely. BALLYHOOLIGAN (7) was in contention on the bend and finished second last time over 1006m at Los Alamitos (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 0.8 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Placed to advantage so expect another bold run. Something for the Multiples: FORZA AZZURRI (5)
