Thursday’s 7th race from Santa Anita Park (2-8-18) is an Optional Claiming event for 3-year-olds traveling one mile on the turf course.
#6 KYLEMORE (6-1) graduated in a flat mile turf race at Del Mar last summer. He ran okay in his last two all-weather routes at Golden Gate and might move up 3rd off the shelf.
#8 River Boyne (5-2) ran well in both US turf routes including a 5-length maiden win as the chalk at nine furlongs on opening day.
#3 Move Over (3-1) rallied for the place in his US bow down the dip. He handled longer distances in Great Britain and can move up for John Sadler.
#1 Magic Musketier (6-1) drops out of the stakes ranks and I like the rider switch to Kent Desormeaux (rarely rides for Jerry Hollendorfer). He can improve 3rd off the shelf.
THE PLAYS:
#6 to win
Exacta 6/1-3-8
