Santa Anita Park Race 6 - Race 6 - Starter Optional Claiming
CATFISH CORY (2) broke through for his maiden win over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time, scoring comfortably. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and he is a leading contender. JONNY'S CAP (1) comes here off a break of 11 weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 905m at this track. One of the genuine hopes in the race. RED RAIDER (4) was never in contention when 13 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1609m at Santa Anita Turf last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at Del Mar Turf the run before. Finds an easier assignment and can take this out. CLUB FIGHTER (6) looks to kick off this prep the way he ended the last nine weeks ago when he scored over 1006m at Del Mar. Winning claims on best figures.

Had two starts to date. At long odds at debut, got back early 7th of 10 at Del Mar on August 21 over 1106m, 7 len behind No Limit carrying 55.5kg at $33.30. Second-up ran on from midfield and scored a big 6 len win at this track on September 25 over 1207m defeating Simple Majority with 55.5kg at $7.10. Should be right in the finish.
