Santa Anita Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Special Weight
COLUMNIST (6) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of three months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1609m at this track (Turf). Looks the one to beat. DESERT HAWK (2) missed the frame on debut then improved last time when 2.25 lengths away in second over 1609m at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Expected to go well again. DEBBIES GETTINGHOT (3) is building towards a maiden win after minor placings at his last two runs, the latest when third over 1006m at Del Mar (Turf), beaten one length. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Will be in this for a long way. DARK BLUE (1) resumes from a spell of 12 weeks. Could only manage to finish fifth at the latest run over 1308m at this track (Turf). Has ability and is worth including.
