Santa Anita Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Starter Optional Claiming
STRIKE A MATCH (5) Won by a huge margin of 4 1/4L last run around here and racing over extra ground. Coming to a new trainer. Should come to hand quickly. One of the major players. KID CHARLEMAGNE (3) Resuming after a spell. Below expectations when 5th last time at Del Mar. Should bounce back but competing in a higher grade. Stable is in form. Shows good closing speed. No surprise to see a win. MOONLIT SONATA (4) Overtook some late when 4th last start at this venue but competing at a higher level of competition. Jockey Joel Rosario and trainer Tim Yakteen must be respected together. Solid place bet prospects. KING STEPHEN (2) First up after a break. Not up to scratch when 4th last run at Del Mar but will try to take advantage of the draw. Matched against a stronger field. Not out of this.

Back from a break. Jumped at $18.00 and clearly outclassed when 4th last run at Del Mar but gets a favourable barrier. Up against tougher rivals. One for the value hunters.

Fresh after a break. Odds of $9.00 and well beaten when 5th last time at Del Mar. Should bounce back but up against a higher level of opposition. Major chance.

Jumped at $7.00 and crept into 4th last start around here but up in grade. Joel Rosario is in form for this stable. Chance and can measure up.

Made a mess of them when winning by a margin of 4 1/4L last run here and facing an increased distance. First start for a new trainer. Holds a major chance.

Finished 3rd last start at the track and back over extra ground. Challenged by a tougher grade. Can surprise at a nice price.
