Santa Anita Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming

NEXT TRICK (3) Was overpowered late when 3rd last run at this venue and matched against a less competitive field. Should jump out and bowl along. Strong hope. HE'S A GANGSTER (5) Rocketed home when winning last start here and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Showing great form since returning from a break. Will be hitting the line strongly. Can have an impact. JUST DEAL (1) Underperformed when 5th last run here. Has the ability to turn things around and back in an easier grade. Showing good ability since returning from a spell. Warrants a bet. MEEKING (2) Showed some merit late when 4th last start around here and facing less formidable opponents. Should muster plenty of early toe. Will try to take advantage of the draw. Could surprise.

Comments

Was $4.50 and sub-standard effort when 5th last run around here. Has the ability to turn things around and stepping down to a lower level. Gets a favourable gate. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

At $16.00 made up ground when 4th last start here and competing at a lower grade. Has shown early pace in races to date. Drawn nicely. Would be more keen on the chance of others.

Ran out of steam towards the end when 3rd last run at the track and challenged by weaker competitors. Should be going forward early. Will go close.

Started at $43.00 and didn't attack the line when 8th last time at the track but facing a weaker grade. Does take a while to get into stride. Cannot recommend as a betting proposition.

At $10.00 weakened under pressure when 6th last start here but dropping in grade. Jockey Joel Rosario is in top form for this stable. Coming back in trip. Seems unlikely.
