Santa Anita Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Starter Allowance

DAIRAGO (6) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 0.8 lengths away in third over 1811m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf (Turf). Has the ability to take care of this field. JIMMY BLUE JEANS (7) is resuming from a spell of ten weeks and having his first run for the P G Aguirre yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at this track (Turf) over 1609m. A solid return is anticipated. CAISSON (4) finished third two runs back at Del Mar Turf (Turf) then improved last time out to score by 0.3 lengths over 1609m at Del Mar Turf (Turf). Finds a suitable assignment and can go back-to-back. GRANDISIMO (8) turned in a modest performance when fourth last time out over 1609m at Del Mar Turf, beaten 5.5 lengths, after a win at Del Mar Turf at the previous outing. Nicely placed to play a leading role.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 43-day let-up. Last start raced on the pace when 3rd of 7 at Colonial Downs Inner Turf on September 3 over 1811m, 0.8 len behind Mccullough carrying 55.5kg at $3.50. The run before that 3rd of 10 at Colonial Downs Turf on July 19 over 1710m, 2.5 len behind Battle Call carrying 56kg at $4.80. Doesn't need to improve much to salute.
