Santa Anita Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Mdn Special Weight
KOEKKOEK (9) Resumes from a break. Was in the race for a long way when 2nd beaten by 1/2L last run at this venue and good career start. Underrated. GALLATIN (1) Couldn't keep the pace going when 2nd last run here and can save some energy from the stall. Displays good tactical speed. Going well this preparation. Down in trip. Well placed and has solid claims. LEGAL HEIR (11) Gave a strong sight when 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L last time here. Should be rolling forward early from the wide draw. Has to be strongly considered. META STAR (8) Brian J Koriner 3yo by Street Boss having first race appearance. Watch betting.

Put together a strong on-speed performance when 2nd beaten by 1 3/4L last run at the track and drawn well. Should jump out and bowl along. Has definite claims.

Ran 3rd last time at the track and will try to take advantage of the stall. Has plenty of early speed. Watch for a sign in the market.

Maintained a solid pace but eventually weakened to finish 2nd last time at this venue. The wide alley shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. Good chance of taking this out.

Was $8.50 and crept into 4th last time around here and was a debutant last start. Likely to settle back in the field. Others make far more appeal.
