Santa Anita Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
IMA TRACK STAR (3) is a promising type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Already a two time winner and scored two back at Del Mar (Dirt) before placing last time over 1106m at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Key chance and expected to go close. SINGLEMORE (4) is a promising type who scored at his last run before a break six-and-a-half months ago over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has won when fresh from a spell in the past. Has a high cruising speed. Among the leading chances. SOUTHERN MELODEE (2) finished 9 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1609m at Del Mar, an improvement on his tenth at Del Mar the run before. Armando Ayuso gets the best out of this three-year-old gelding. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. MEEKING (5) turned things around last start and got the job done by 5 lengths over 1207m at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 35 day let-up. Most recently 3rd of 8 at Los Alamitos on September 11 over 1106m, 2.75 len behind B Grayson with 56.5kg at $2. The start before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.0 len at Del Mar on August 8 over 1106m defeating Chapter One with 56kg at $2.30. Meets a small field and looks tough to beat.
