Santa Anita Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance Optional Claiming
TAP THE GIN (2) maps as a key chance after a last-start win at Santa Anita over 1207m, scoring by 1.5L in a 5-runner MSW and now adds blinkers. PROLETARIAT (3) drops back from a 1609m Stakes 95 third at Santa Anita, and owns a prior 1006m win at Del Mar. WORK (4) was well beaten last time at Churchill Downs over 1609m but did win a Santa Anita MSW over 1308m two back. JORDI BEAR (5) resumes; his best recent effort was a 1.25L win at the Curragh over 1408m before contesting a big-field 2yo race. Something for the Multiples: PROLETARIAT (3) TAP THE GIN (2)
