Santa Anita Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Starter Optional Claiming

ISSA COURT (3) followed an unplaced effort first-up two runs back with a second last start over 1207m at this track after being in contention on the corner. Looks well placed so expect another big run. SHE'S SPLENDID (1) comes here off a last-start fifth, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 1609m at this track. Ticks all the right boxes. CORPORAL VIOLETTE (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4 lengths when sixth over 1207m at this track two weeks ago. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. DEA MATRONA (8) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1609m at this track (Turf), scoring by 0.8 lengths. Second-up record is strong and appeals as a solid top-three hope.

Second-up. First-up after five months ran on from midfield and won by 0.8 len at this track January 30 over 1609m defeating Candy Bar with 55.5kg at $3.80. Previously second-up 3rd of 10 at Gulfstream Park Turf on December 15 2024 over 1609m, 0.5 len behind Center Stage with 53.5kg at $2.30. Should progress from that first-up run.
