Santa Anita Park Race 9

Starter Optional Claiming

Prize Money: $49,929

CALL ME SIR (8) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 1.3 lengths back in fourth over 1811m in stakes class at this track (Turf). Sure to give a great sight. SNEAKING CANDY (5) has not raced since he finished ninth over 1308m at this track on December 28. Looks to have an edge on most of these. KNIGHT TO KING (3) returns after a spell of 22 months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 2112m at Naas. Has switched to the Doug F O'neill stable. Worth plenty of thought. GOODFELLA (6) was a winner over 1509m at Turf Paradise Turf (Turf) last time, racing on the pace before getting the upper hand and scoring by 0.3 lengths. Commendable record at this trip with a win and five minor placings and is among the main hopes.

Third-up today. First-up sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at Turf Paradise Turf on January 21 over 1609m, 0.8 len behind Zoffarelli carrying 55.5kg at $6.60. Last start raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a 0.3 len at Turf Paradise Turf February 3 over 1509m defeating Jimmy B carrying 56kg at $1.10. Broke maiden status last time and is worthy of consideration.
