Santa Anita Park Race 6 - Race 6 - Starter Optional Claiming
CATFISH CORY (2) Gave them a lesson when winning by almost 7L last start at this venue and has a positive draw. Jockey Kazushi Kimura riding for trainer Steven Miyadi command respect. Should be right in the finish. IMELDA IS MY LIGHT (5) Strong effort to the line to win last time at Los Alamitos Th but racing in stronger company. Can win. CLUB FIGHTER (6) Racing fresh after a break. Brave effort to win narrowly last time at Del Mar but up against a more competitive field. Looks to be value. CAPS D'ORO (3) Was well beaten when 8th last time at this track. Looking for an improved run and up against a less competitive field. Displays good tactical speed. Solid place bet prospects.

First up from a break of 11 weeks and amongst the placegetters when 3rd first up last preparation here. Won't be far away during the run. Others preferred.

Spaced the field to win by just short of 7L last start around here and drawn nicely. Jockey Kazushi Kimura and trainer Steven Miyadi command respect as a team. Will be in the finish.

Didn't threaten when 8th last time at the track. Looking for an improved run and dropping in class. Likely to be well placed early. Follow the money.

Backing up quickly for this race. Started $12.00 and below par when 7th last run here and back to a shorter distance. Competing in a higher grade. Not in this.

Strong effort to the line to win last time at Los Alamitos Th but challenged by more formidable competitors. Solid chance.

Back from a break. Game effort to win narrowly last time at Del Mar but competing at a higher level of competition. Juan J Hernandez is a pivotal booking. Quietly confident of a big run at decent odds.
