Santa Anita Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Maiden Claiming
BIGGIEBIGGIEBIGGIE (4) finished seventh two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1609m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. PRIME ARTIST (7) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1811m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. KEAGMAN (10) is a six-start maiden who finished third over 1609m at this track (Turf) last time out after being in contention on the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. SANDS OF TIME (11) returned from a spell a week-and-a-half ago when he was beaten 4 lengths into sixth over 1308m at this track. Fitter so a likely improver.
