Santa Anita Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance Optional Claiming
WILD LIKE THE WEST (2) hasn't been far away since a maiden win three runs back, the latest effort a second over 1609m at Listed level at this track (Turf) on December 29. Winning rider J J Hernandez stays aboard. Among the leading chances. RAMAYANA (1) broke her maiden last start over 1609m at this track (Turf), scoring by 1.5 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Nicely placed to double the win tally. PEANUTBUTTERBOMBE (3) came home strongly last start to finish third, beaten half a length, over 1609m at this track when fresh from a spell. Should be poised just off the lead. One to consider. EMMA G (5) went forward and proved too strong on debut last start, scoring with 2.25 lengths to spare over 1106m at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Solid claims.

Comes off a 40 day let-up. Most recently won by 1.5 len at this track December 28 over 1609m defeating Improbable U with 55.5kg at $3.30. The start before that 2nd of 12 at Del Mar on November 29 over 1609m, 0.3 len behind Total Val with 55.5kg at $4.10. No reason she cannot build on that success.

Freshened since claiming her maiden victory on debut; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 2.25 len at Los Alamitos December 12 over 1106m defeating Violets Song with 55.5kg at $24.70. Improvement likely.
