Friday’s 9th race from Santa Anita Park (3-9-17) is a $30,000 Maiden Claiming event for 3-year-olds dashing six furlongs on the main track.
#11 LOLLY EXPRESS (6-1) is a first timer with Rafael Bejarano (2-for-4 w/Mike Puype) in the irons and Puype shows a +ROI debut maiden claiming. He sports a couple of local gate moves.
#2 Optic (5-2) drops and makes his first start as a gelding for Team Desormeaux. He blew out a training track bullet for this March 3.
#8 Typhoon Harry (12-1) is a first time gelding adding blinkers and Mike Puype shows a +ROI with layoff runners.
#9 Fabrication (5-1) finished 2nd in 3 of his last 6 starts and has been firing every other race. If that pattern continues, he would land the place today.
#6 Pepe the Legend (7-2) dropped to this level in his second start and missed by a neck Feb. 17.
