Santa Anita Park Race 6 - Race 6 - Allowance Optional Claiming
THIRD BEER (3) Picked up nicely to win last time here and will be well suited at the trip. Will be hitting the line strongly. Honest performer putting a tidy record together. Appears well in this. CHARLIE'S CURLIN (4) Ran home strongly to win last time here and showing consistent performance in races. Can go through the gears. Added confidence jockey with Juan J Hernandez doing the steering. Big chance. COURT OF APPEAL (2) Rounded them up to win last time at Turf Paradise and can find a nice position from the draw. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Could pose a threat and looks promising. ARMY MAN (5) Was well beaten when 7th last time at the track. Should improve from the last run and dropping in class. Won't be far away during the run. Betting may tell the tale.

Racing fresh after a break. Started $14.00 and average effort when 5th last time at the track but challenged by weaker competitors. Finishes off strongly. Rough chance today.

Finished with purpose when winning last time at Turf Paradise and going back up in trip. Has very good closing speed. Been in the money each attempt this campaign. Good prospects.

Picked up late to win last time around here and strong form at the distance. Should get going late. Putting a tidy record together so far. Tough competitor.

Was eating up the ground late when winning last time at the track and promising career start. Juan J Hernandez rates highly aboard. Will be motoring home late. Should go very close.

Odds of $14.00 and weakened under pressure when 7th last time at the track. Should improve from the last run and goes down in grade. Very unlikely to cause an upset.
