Guggenheim returns as a gelding for Shirreffs
Rating: Four Golden Dollars out of Four
Thursday's 5th race (3:03pm PT) from Santa Anita Park is an Optional Claiming event for 4-year-olds and up dashing six and one-half furlongs on the turf course (rail at 30 feet).
#4 Guggenheim (6-1) is 2-for-3 down the hill. He returns as a first time gelding for Shirreffs and Smith hops aboard the patient runner.

#11 Guns Loaded (5-2) exits an easy hillside win vs. lesser $40k claimers. He drew well and can make it two straight for Bejarano/O'Neill.
#9 Stormy Liberal (10-1) is a 2-time winner down the dip cutting back in distance off a layoff. Gutierrez booted home the early/pressing type at this course/distance Oct 24.
#8 Clever Royal (8-1) gets in light with Lopez and gets pace to chase in the paper race. He was right there in 2 of 3 downhill starts.

Claiming - 8.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $35,000 Class Rating: 95
Rating: Four Golden Dollars out of Four
#5 MAMBO AT THE GYM (ML=2/1)
MAMBO AT THE GYM - Nice return on investment for this jock and handler duo. This horse should go right out to the early lead and may never look back. Could gate to wire the field.
Vulnerable Contenders: #6 WILDNITEATTHEOPERA (ML=5/2), #4 JAI ALAI (ML=3/1), #3 ESKENDULCE (ML=5/1),
WILDNITEATTHEOPERA - I'd like to see more conducive recent showings with oddsmaker's morning line of 5/2. Doubtful that the speed fig he garnered on December 26th will be good enough in this contest. JAI ALAI - In the last event this vulnerable equine finished fifth. Doesn't bode well for his chances in today's event. Don't believe this entrant will make a winning move in today's race. That last speed figure was quite unimpressive when compared with today's Equibase class figure. ESKENDULCE - Notched a common speed figure in the last race in a $14,000 Claiming race on December 30th. Not probable to see an improved performance off of that rating.
STRAIGHT WAGERS:
#5 MAMBO AT THE GYM is the play if we get odds of 1/1 or better
