Santa Anita Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
DIRTY WORDS (10) is a distance specialist who finished seventh two runs back at Del Mar (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 4.5 lengths after being prominent at the bend over 1106m at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. MIDNITE MUSKET (4) built on a nice second two starts back at Los Alamitos (Dirt) with success over 1006m at Los Alamitos (Dirt) six weeks ago, getting home by 5 lengths. Stepping up a level this time but on current form he is capable of another big performance. TAPALO (5) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when third over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Meeting a tougher field but on its best form it is right in contention. DOO WOP DON (2) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by 2.75 lengths over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Has never missed the frame second-up and he can measure up again.

Racing well recently. Comes off a 42 day let-up. At the latest run scored a big 5 len win at Los Alamitos on September 19 over 1006m defeating Perfecto Amor with 56kg at $2.70. The start before that set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 8 at Los Alamitos on September 11 over 1106m, 1.3 len behind King Apollo carrying 56.5kg at $4.20. Sure to be tough to beat from an inside alley.

Comes here off a 49-day let-up. Most recently ran on from midfield and won by 4.5 len at Los Alamitos on September 12 over 1106m defeating Tapalo carrying 56.5kg at $4.50. The run before that 7th of 9 at Del Mar on August 2 over 1106m, 8 len behind Gypsy Tears with 54.5kg at $4. No reason he cannot salute again.

Comes off a 29 day let-up. At the latest run ran last of 8 at this track on October 2 over 1106m, 18 len behind Doo Wop Don carrying 56kg at $6.90. Before that settled back and ran on when 7th of 9 at Del Mar on August 27 over 1207m, 3.5 len behind The Big Cheeseola with 55.5kg at $5.90. Better than that recent ordinary performance suggests.
