Santa Anita Park Race 2

Allowance Optional Claiming

Stake: $107,188

SHADY TIGER (2) Advanced late into 4th last time here and has a positive draw. Juan J Hernandez is a suitable booking. Fights on bravely so consider. POSITIVITY (3) Was rock solid when winning by a margin of 3 1/2L last run at this venue. Jockey Kent J Desormeaux is in form for this stable. Very competitive this preparation. Worth a bet. MOMAD (1) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last run at this track and showing consistent performance in races. Has run into the placings at every start this preparation. No shock to see a win. SELF SUFFICIENT (4) Looked outclassed when 7th last run at this track. Is capable of a resurgence and solid career start. Should come to hand quickly. Solid place bet prospects.
