Santa Anita Park Race 6 - Race 6 - Starter Optional Claiming
BLAME ASHLEY (4) Found another gear when winning by 4 1/4L last time at Del Mar and having second career run. Kazushi Kimura and Hector O Palma enjoy a high success rate together. Cannot underestimate. EAST WITTON (1) Went to the front and never looked back to win by a margin of 1 3/4L last time at Los Alamitos Th and fitter for debut run. Must respect in this event. DANIELLE (6) Took charge of the race when winning by 3 1/4L last run at Los Alamitos Th but matched against a stronger field. Expecting to settle positively. Among better hopes. I KNOW NOTHING (2) Well beaten when 7th last time at Del Mar but gets a favourable alley. Might take a while to wind up but should be hitting top gear in the straight. Not out of this.

Gave them all something to chase when winning by a margin of 1 3/4L last time at Los Alamitos Th and was a debutant last start. Drawn the rails. Can take this out.

Jumped at $6.50 and below expectations when 7th last time at Del Mar but drawn nicely. Will be hitting the line strongly. Racing in stronger company. One for the value hunters.

Jumped at $36.00 and mediocre display when 8th last run at Del Mar but up against a less competitive field. Very unlikely to shake these.

Gave them a lesson when winning by a margin of 4 1/4L last time at Del Mar and was on debut last time. Rising in grade. Should give this a shake.

Was very impressive when winning by a margin of nearly 9L last start at Del Mar but racing against tougher rivals. Winning chance at nice odds.

Led throughout to win by 3 1/4L last run at Los Alamitos Th and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Should be going forward early. Facing formidable rivals. Has strong claims.

Was $11.00 and struggled with the pace when 5th last time here but competing in a less challenging grade. Has plenty of early speed. Modest contender.
