Santa Anita Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Claiming
MILLBO BAGGINS (3) was beaten 0.1 lengths into second when returning from a spell and tackling a dirt track for the first time last start over 1106m at this track. Will drift back but wind up late. Leading contender. GILCHRIST (1) will find this a little easier than his third on debut six-and-a-half weeks ago, beaten 1.1 lengths at the end of 1106m at this track (Dirt). Will benefit from that experience so he is worth following up. SUNK COST FALLACY (4) returned from a break last start with a moderate sixth over 1106m at this track (Dirt) after settling well back. Nicely placed to take this out. HUNGOVER (2) is a three-year-old gelding on debut from the stable of Ryan Hanson. By Halladay from Brandyafterdinner. Watch the market closely.
