Santa Anita Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Claiming
PRIME ARTIST (4) is a five-start maiden who is well and truly overdue, finishing third at this track (Turf) over 1609m last time out after being in the firing line on the corner. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SAHARIAN (1) is yet to break through in three runs. Finished seventh at his last appearance over 1811m at this track (Turf) on January 25 after he got a long way back in the run. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. GALLATIN (3) debuted three weeks ago when he finished ninth over 1308m at Santa Anita (Dirt), beaten 16 lengths. Fitter and with blinkers added is worth including. DREAMRIDER (6) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 8 lengths away in seventh over 1609m at this track. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.

Jumped at big odds at debut, ran last of 9 at Santa Anita on March 7 over 1308m, 16 len behind Crude Velocity with 55.5kg at $31.70. Should improve and is a chance in this line-up.

At the latest run 7th of 9 at this track on February 27 over 1609m, 8 len behind Biggiebiggiebiggie carrying 55.5kg at $15.70. The start before that settled back and ran on when 4th of 7 at this track on January 30 over 1609m, 6 len behind Classico carrying 55.5kg at $12.10. Better than that recent moderate performance suggests.
