Santa Anita Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Claiming
THIRSTY CAITLIN (7) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1207m at Los Alamitos, beaten 7 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. JADE'S MOST WANTED (11) faced the starter for the first time and finished seventh last start at Los Alamitos (Dirt) over 1106m, beaten 15 lengths. Improvement to come and the addition of blinkers is a positive sign. SHEMAKESMEMAD (3) ran below expectations last time at Los Alamitos (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 13 lengths starting at $7.30. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. HARKETTE (2) has started twice, running a good third on debut then finishing fifth, beaten 11 lengths, last time over 1106m at Del Mar (Dirt). Has the speed to be prominent from this nice gate. Well placed and can feature in the finish.
