Santa Anita Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Special Weight
COLUMNIST (11) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1609m at this track (Turf). Has ability and sure to prove tough to beat. DEBBIES GETTINGHOT (4) boxed on soundly last time to finish third over 1006m at Del Mar (Turf). Extra trip a plus; among the main hopes. DESERT HAWK (9) ran a much better race at his second outing last start to finish second over 1609m at Los Alamitos after being in contention on the turn. Goes up a rung or two but he is worth serious consideration. DARK BLUE (7) returns after ten weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 1308m at this track (Turf). Solid top-three hope.
