Santa Anita Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Maiden Claiming
BANDOLERO (1) has switched yards since finishing seventh five-and-a-half weeks ago over 1106m at this track. Well-placed and sure to feature. BOSSING MO (2) was 12 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1308m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) last time following a minor placing on debut the run before. Looks well placed and is worth another chance. OSWALD (5) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1609m at Turf Paradise after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Meets some better types this time but another big run is on the cards. ITSNOTROCKET (4) stepped out on his debut over 1207m at this track (Dirt) two weeks ago and finished fourth, beaten 10 lengths. Improver who can feature in the finish.
