Santa Anita Park Race 4

Starter Optional Claiming

Stake: $62,146

SAREEHA (3) ran below expectations last time after being in contention on the bend at this track (Turf), finishing sixth and beaten 2.75 lengths starting at $4. Finds an easier assignment and can make amends. SHE'S A JOKER (2) was beaten just 0.4 lengths last start when third in a small field over 1207m at this track (Turf) at the first run of the campaign. Will be fitter for that run, looks likely to feature again. CHEEKIEST (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she got a long way back over 2012m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fourth. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and five minor placings. Finds an easier assignment and can take this out. VRONSKY FEINT (5) was prominent at the turn and finished third last time over 1207m at this track (Turf) when resuming from a spell, beaten 4 lengths. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. Something for the Multiples: EMPRESS ELLIE (6)
