Santa Anita Park Race 4

Allowance Optional Claiming

Prize Money: $95,312

GRUBAUER (3) First run back from a break. Made all to win by 5 1/2L last time at the track. Expecting to settle positively. Jockey Assael Espinoza has been successful previously. Could pose a threat and expected to go very close. WOUND UP (2) Showed a clean pair of heels when winning by close to 8L last time here and can find a nice position from the draw. Will give a big sight. FEEL THE MAGIC (7) Won by a big margin of 3 1/2L last run here but coming back in distance. Jockey Flavien Prat is a strong choice aboard. Open to improvement and is a strong chance again. POSITIVITY (1) Good performance to run into 2nd beaten by 1 3/4L last run at the track and will appreciate a good draw. In a purple patch of form this preparation. A win wouldn't surprise.
