Santa Anita Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Claiming
IRISH ELEMENT (6) is still a maiden after 11 starts. Managed to fill a minor placing at this track (Dirt) two starts back before finishing fourth over 1609m at this track (Dirt) last start. Finds a nice race and this might be his day. BRAHMS MENDELSSOHN (1) is still a maiden after eight starts. Managed to fill a minor placing at this track (Dirt) two starts back when resuming before finishing sixth over 1106m at this track (Dirt) last time. Should be in the mix. STAGE RUN (2) faced the starter for the first time and finished fourth last start at this track (Dirt) over 1106m, beaten 4.5 lengths. Plenty of scope for improvement. NEXT TRICK (3) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 1207m at Los Alamitos 18 months ago. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Solid claims on best form.
