Santa Anita Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Claiming
BABY NEEDS SHOES (6) sets the standard after a solid 2nd at Santa Anita over 1207m last start, racing on-speed throughout. DANCING WITH SHARI (9) closed from the back for 3rd in the same 1207m race and is a key chance again. GRAPE JUICE TOO (2) was 4th there from a wide gate and had a prior 3rd at this trip, so fits in the mix. TURKEY BIRD (8) has 1207m Santa Anita placings and can run on. Pace looks genuine with (6) likely prominent.
