Santa Anita Park Race 7

Allowance Optional Claiming

Stake: -

POOR CONNECTION (5) Folded up in the straight when 6th last time at this venue. Should improve from the last run but up against a higher level of opposition. This field suits. CATCH THE BREEZE (4) Mediocre performance when 6th last run at this venue but has been racing in stronger company. Winnable race. NONE ABOVE THE LAW (3) Was strong late when 3rd last start at the track and back in an easier grade. Solid place bet prospects. OUBABE (2) Racing fresh today after a break. Inched into 5th last run at the track and will try to take advantage of the barrier. Should race on the speed. One of the hopes.

Was $14.00 and got going late when 5th last time around here and drawn the rails. Has a great burst of speed late. Facing stiffer opposition. Has some claims.

First run back from a break. Odds of $5.00 and picked up some late ground when 5th last run here and has a positive gate. Shows good early pace. Looks like solid value.

At $7.00 didn't find the line when 6th last time at the track. Should improve from the last run but rising in grade. Expecting to settle positively. Good winning chance.

Odds of $36.00 and ordinary performance when 9th last time at the track but facing a weaker grade. Jockey Juan J Hernandez is a strong choice aboard. Prefer in something a lot easier.
