Santa Anita Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Maiden Optional Claiming
BUCKS ACTION (4) 3yo by Practical Joke having initial appearance for trainer Robert B Hess Jr. Follow the money. DUTTON'S SONG (2) Made considerable ground when 3rd beaten by 5 1/4L last run at this track and has a positive gate. Honest enough customer who is strongly placed. SHARONS ANGELS (3) Didn't find the line when 5th last start at this venue. Should improve here. Has plenty of early speed. Live winning chance. RICH NIGHT (1) First up after 29 weeks and tidy effort when 3rd first up last preparation at Del Mar. Drawn the rails. Could work into placings.

At $11.00 didn't threaten when 5th last start at this venue. Should improve here. Should come to hand quickly. In for the fight.

Started $11.00 and made up ground when 5th last start at this track and fitter for debut run. Vicente Del Cid is a strong choice aboard. Will need to find a few more lengths.

Jumped at $28.00 and finished 4th last run at this track. Should jump out and bowl along. Better to look elsewhere.
