Santa Anita Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming
TEQUILAANDTHERAPY (6) was unplaced on turf over 1609m at Del Mar two back then again couldn't find the top-three on the same surface last time out, finishing fourth over 1308m at this track. Well placed in this easier race. Best form puts her right in this. ARTISMA (8) is a talented filly who was well held last time out in the tougher La Brea Stakes won by Usha over 1408m at this track, beaten 15 lengths into eighth. Yet to break through this time in but hasn't been far away, with four placings to her name. Sure to run well. LOVIN' ON THE RUN (5) has scored at her last two starts, most recently by 1.3 lengths over 1207m at this track (Turf) as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three outings. Among the leading players again. POCKET VENUS (3) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations first-up at this track (Turf), finishing seventh and beaten 3.5 lengths over 1207m. Should be in the mix in this suitable race.
