Santa Anita Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Starter Optional Claiming
CLOUSEAU (6) found the line nicely but never threatened over 1308m at this track (Dirt) last time out when finishing midfield. Honest record at this distance and is well worth another chance. RODRIGOKNOWS (4) made it two wins on the bounce last time out when he scored by 0.3 lengths over 1207m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf). Has the class to add to the winning sequence. MIGHTY KAI (1) did a great job to score by a nose over today's course and distance last start in a much improved run. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is good enough to cope. MEGA MOON (2) was well in commission last time out but could only manage to finish sixth over 1106m at Los Alamitos (Dirt) in a disappointing performance. Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of a big performance.

Recent form sound. Last start won by a nose at this track on October 2 over 1609m defeating Joint Venture carrying 56kg at $3.90. The race before that 4th of 7 at Del Mar on August 23 over 1609m, 9 len behind Hard To Figure with 55kg at $4.10. Got the job done last time and is a leading hope again.

Comes here off a 48-day let-up. Last start ran second last of 7 at Los Alamitos on September 12 over 1106m, 7 len behind Gettinby carrying 56.5kg at $4. The run before that 4th of 10 at Del Mar on August 29 over 1207m, 7 len behind Roscoe's Brother carrying 55.5kg at $12.30. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.

Last start 3rd in a small field at this track on October 2 over 1609m, 1.5 len behind Mighty Kai with 56kg at $10.40. The race before that 3rd of 7 at Los Alamitos on September 19 over 1609m, 1.75 len behind Unpretentious with 55kg at $19.10. Genuine chance on the back of the last effort.
