Santa Anita Park Race 8

Allowance Optional Claiming

Stake: -

MR. DISRESPECTFUL (6) First up after a break. Lacklustre showing when 8th last run at this venue but will be well suited at the trip. Has plenty of early speed. Expect to go close. MAGNIFY (1) Finished amongst the placegetters when 3rd beaten by 6L last run at this venue and has a nice advantage with a good gate. Must respect. MIDWAY LANE (8) Made all to win by a margin of 9L last start at this venue and good career start. No shock to see a win. GHAZAALY (7) Good performance to run into 2nd last start here. Can make a claim.

Ran on strongly when 3rd last run at this track and has drawn to do little work. Been in the placegetters each start this campaign. Has a good chance.

Odds of $9.00 and couldn't stay in touch when 5th last start at this track but facing a weaker group of contenders. Should muster plenty of early speed. Will struggle against these.

Put a gap on the rest when winning by a margin of 4L last time here and back to an increased distance. Competing at a higher grade. Looking to place betting and exotics.

Finished strongly when 2nd beaten by 3/4L last start at this venue and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Putting up notable efforts this preparation. Likely to be an exotics contender.
