Santa Anita Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming

BALLYHOOLIGAN (3) improved sharply on his fifth two starts back at this track (Dirt) with success as public elect over 1308m at this track (Dirt) five weeks ago, getting home by 0.3 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. HANDSOME TICKET (2) has been kept fresh since he resumed last start and proved too strong, scoring by 0.8 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Will be better for that latest run and he is a major player again. MICI'S EXPRESS (4) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on May 16, finishing fourth and beaten 5.5 lengths over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. THE OLD NINE (6) was prominent at the bend and finished second last start over 1207m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf), beaten a nose. Will strip fitter this time. Likely improver with solid prospects.

Resumes from a spell. Not seen since he finished last in a small field at Horseshoe Indianapolis October 22 2024 over 1207m, 18 len behind Complex Music carrying 54.5kg at $5.70. On debut won by 0.8 len Horseshoe Indianapolis August 7 2024 over 1106m defeating Vino Dominus carrying 54.5kg at $18.90. Doesn't appeal.
