Santa Anita Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
REPO (11) First up from a break of 8 weeks and felt the pinch late when 3rd beaten by nearly 9L first up last preparation here. Stepping up in trip. Better hope. IS THAT YOU WING (10) Ran 6th last start at Del Mar. Has the potential to improve sharply. Has the speed to overcome the wide draw. Worth strong consideration. OLYMPIAN THIRST (2) Below expectations when 7th last time here but has a positive barrier. Stepping up in distance. One of the major players. ENJOY THE RIDE (3) Finished 5th last time at Del Mar. Likely to bounce back. Can win.

Resumes after a spell. Odds of $43.00 and well beaten when 8th last run at Del Mar but was a debutant last start. Hard to have.

Underperformed when 7th last time here but will try to take advantage of the alley. Facing an increased distance. Must be considered here.

Was $16.00 and disappointing run when 9th last start at Del Mar but fitter for debut run. Going up in trip. Not threatening these.

Jumped at $28.00 and advanced late into 5th last run around here and facing a rise in trip. Expected to settle towards the rear. Entitled to be big odds.

Finished 4th last start at Del Mar but racing over more ground. Joel Rosario and Craig Anthony Lewis enjoy a high success rate together. Marginal prospect.

Jumped at $14.00 and ran 6th last start at Del Mar. Has the potential to improve sharply. The wide alley shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. Expecting a solid performance.

First up from a break of 8 weeks and ran out of steam towards the end when 3rd beaten by almost 9L first up last preparation at this venue. Good winning chance.
