Santa Anita Race 9

[skippy3481]

Any one have any ideas here?

3 will go off as the post time fave but im throwing him out. I think this horse wants a mile not 1 and 3/4. Even being the lone speed in the race, I don't think that he can slow it down enough to lead gate to wire.

1 is the logical second choice but the last race was a clunker and the works leading up have not been solid. Perhaps a minor physical problem?

5 to me is just over his head. Has been working and racing well this year after being a mid level claimer.

That leaves me with the only viable option being the 4. His figs are below the other 3 but i think the distance wont hurt him. He's third off the bench wheeled back on short rest, which probably tells me he is as fit as hes going to be. If I can get a price, I'll take a shot, if not I'll pass. Does anyone else have any opinions?
