Santa Anita Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Claiming
ONE STEP BEYOND (2) missed the frame last time when fifth at this track. Prior to that had been in the money on three consecutive occasions. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Expecting a bold showing. THROWTHEFIRSTPUNCH (1) returns after five months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a 11th over 1308m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf). Ready to find winning form. ACTUNG BABY (7) has not raced since his debut on June 15 over 1006m at this track (Dirt) when he finished seventh, beaten 9 lengths. Improver who can feature in the finish. BOSSING MO (8) was in the money two starts back at this track then missed the frame but was not too far away last time over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Will drift back but wind up late. Can feature with the right run.

Was as a despised roughie at debut, second last of 7 at this track on February 20 over 1207m, 17 len behind Ahrens carrying 55.5kg at $57. Requires plenty of improvement after a modest debut.
