Santa Anita Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Claiming
TEXAS WILDCAT (2) has finished runner-up at his last three starts at Santa Anita, most recently 2nd over 1207m beaten 2.5L, and looks well placed in this company. MY MAN JOE ROLDAN (1) was 4th at Santa Anita over 1308m on debut, beaten 11.5L, and can improve with that experience. JETWAY (3) resumes after a long break, having finished 4th of 4 at Santa Anita last June. MY MAN HUEY (5) and TESS OF HEMET (6) both need to lift on recent efforts. Texas Wildcat (2) appeals as the key chance based on consistent recent placings.
