Santa Anita Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming

CONTRARY CHIEFTAIN (4) started at $8.30 last time on the back of a win at this track (Dirt) two starts ago but was below his best, finishing sixth over 1609m at this track (Dirt) after being in contention on the corner. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. MISCHIEFS CAUSEWAY (2) finished 9 lengths adrift in eighth at this track over 1609m at his latest appearance. Can settle near the pace in the small field and will be tough to hold out. MOTHER'S PRAYER (1) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at this track (Dirt) over 1609m. Placed to advantage so expect a better run this time.

Comes off a 37 day let-up. At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily second last of 7 at this track on February 6 over 1609m, 6 len behind Resemblance with 55.5kg at $8.30. The race before that ran on from midfield and scored a big 6 len win at this track January 18 over 1609m defeating Alpine Thunder with 55.5kg at $1.60. Nicely placed to bounce back.
