Santa Anita Park Race 4 - Zuma Beach S. Stakes
DUTY BOUND (3) Bold effort when winning last start at Kentucky Downs but up against stronger rivals. Ultra competitive this preparation with 2 wins from 2 runs. Should jump out and bowl along. Fights on bravely so consider. REPO MAN (5) Strong performance to win by 1 1/2L last run at Del Mar and was a debutant last start. Jockey Umberto Rispoli and trainer Michael W Mccarthy can't be overlooked. Definite winning chance. OFF IN THE CORNER (4) Competitive effort when 3rd last start at Del Mar and will appreciate the drop in class. Been in the money each start this campaign. Honest enough customer who is strongly placed. MAXIFY (2) Displayed potential when winning by 3/4L last time at Del Mar and was on debut last time. Jockey Juan J Hernandez is an asset and drawn nicely. Not out of this.

Right up there last time at Los Alamitos Th and gets the perfect gate. Possesses good closing speed. Racing over more ground. Rising in grade. Can't recommend.

Winner by 3/4L last time at Del Mar and having second career run. Jockey Juan J Hernandez is a plus and gets a favourable gate. Facing stiffer opposition. Nice value bet.

Dashed home to win last start at Kentucky Downs but competing in a higher grade. Hasn't put a foot wrong this campaign with 2 wins from as many starts. Strong chance.

Left nothing to chance when winning by 1 1/2L last run at Del Mar and fitter for debut run. Facing a rise in trip. Racing against tougher rivals. Will attract plenty of interest.
