Santa Anita Park Race 3 - John Shear S. Stakes
TRACK TIGER (5) Led all the way when winning by a margin of 2L last run here but facing a stronger grade. On an upward trajectory in recent races. Look for a bold run. LATER THAN PLANNED (3) Picked up some ground to run 5th last run at the track but back to a shorter distance. Possesses very good finishing speed. Fights on bravely so consider. WON FOR LOU (4) Found another gear when winning by 4 1/2L last time at this venue but facing formidable opponents. Likely to be well placed early. Demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Must respect. IRISEACH (1) Just missed last time at the track and has the ideal draw. Very competitive this preparation but will be dropping in distance. Solid place bet prospects.

Missed by a narrow margin last time around here and gets a favourable barrier. Producing consistent results this preparation but will be facing a significant drop in distance. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Odds of $18.00 and outpaced some runners late when 4th last start at the track and can find a nice position from the draw. Coming back in distance. Entitled to be a big price.

Was $6.50 and picked up some late ground when 5th last run here but back in trip. Has very good closing speed. Strong chance.

Made a mess of them when winning by 4 1/2L last time here but back to a shorter trip. Displays good tactical speed. Showing improvement in recent outings. Right in the mix.

Made all to win by 2L last run here and getting better in recent performances. Should muster plenty of early speed. Competing in a more challenging class. Major chance.
