Santa Anita Park Race 7

Allowance Optional Claiming

Prize Money: $99,857

WARM SUN AND BREW (7) finished second when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at this track. Leading contender. STRAIT UP COUNTRY (4) turned in a fine effort to win by 2.25 lengths at today's track and distance when resuming from a layoff last time out. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. CULLEN J (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth after being in the firing line on the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. SIR PERCIVAL (2) showed good early speed then led into the straight when fresh from a spell last start before fighting on to finish second, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 1609m at this track (Turf). Strong top-three prospect. Something for the Multiples: SPEED OF ELON (5)
