Santa Anita Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Maiden Optional Claiming
DUTTON'S SONG (2) missed the frame on debut then improved last time when 5 lengths away in third over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Looks ready to find form. CRUISIN FOR CALI (6) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 8 lengths when fourth over 1207m at this track a month ago. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. SHARONS ANGELS (3) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at this track (Dirt) over 1308m last time, finishing fifth and beaten 11 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. RICH NIGHT (1) returns after six-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a eighth over 1207m at Del Mar (Dirt). Rates highly on best form and should be in the mix.
