Santa Anita Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Starter Optional Claiming
NIKOLINA (2) Tidy effort when 2nd last start at this track and will try to take advantage of the alley. Likely to be well placed early. Solid career start. Has to be included. A GREAT SHAKING (7) Set the pace to win by 1 3/4L last time here and putting a tidy record together. Displays good tactical speed. Showing great form since returning from a break. Won't be far away. EVA LEA (5) First up from a break of 14 weeks and chimed in with a win by 1 1/2L first up last preparation at Del Mar. Testing ability against stronger contenders. In the mix. STARDIALED (9) Outgunned at the finish when 2nd beaten by 1/2L last run here but facing a stronger group of contenders. Should muster plenty of early toe. Going well this preparation. Appears well in this.

Started at $11.00 and crept into 4th last start at this venue and will appreciate a good barrier. Might have to make up considerable ground. Matched against tougher rivals. Making up the numbers.

Jumped at $6.00 and ran 4th last run around here. Jockey Julien R Leparoux is currently in strong form for this stable. Should jump out and bowl along. Place best.

Gave plenty of cheek when 2nd last run at this track but racing in stronger company. Has early speed and positions nicely. In good shape this campaign. Must respect.
