Santa Anita Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Starter Optional Claiming

MOONLIT SONATA (4) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 2.25 lengths over 1609m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf). Nicely placed to take this out. STRIKE A MATCH (5) recorded a strong maiden win over 1106m at this track (Dirt) last time, getting there by 4 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and he is a solid top-three hope. PALMER BEACH (1) comes here off a break of 11 weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1207m at this track. Among the better hopes. KING STEPHEN (2) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on August 14, finishing fourth and beaten 11 lengths over 1308m at Del Mar (Dirt). Sure to make his presence felt. Something for the Multiples: KID CHARLEMAGNE (3)

Most recently 4th of 9 at Santa Anita Turf on October 17 over 1609m, 2.25 len behind Timayyyy carrying 57kg at $7.10. The race before that 6th of 12 at Del Mar Turf on September 6 over 1811m, 3.5 len behind Muscled carrying 56kg at $9.10. Can build on that encouraging effort last start.

Raced twice to date. When well in the market at debut, ran second last in a small field at Del Mar on September 5 over 1207m, 10 len behind Practical Jack with 55kg at $3.60. Second-up scored a big 4 len win at this track on October 12 over 1106m defeating Kore Kinetic with 55.5kg at $1.60. Should be right in the finish.
