Santa Anita Park Race 10 - Race 10 - Maiden Special Weight
LEGAL HEIR (6) resumes from a spell of nine weeks. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 1609m at this track (Turf). Commenced last prep with a minor placing at this track over 1609m. Looks the one to beat. DIAGHILEV (3) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at this track (Turf) over 1207m, beaten 1.5 lengths. Cherry-ripe now. Drawn ideally and is a winning hope. BRIGHT EYE BUNGLE (9) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 3 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. MCGREGOR (5) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Bob Baffert. By Mckinzie from Take Charge Angel. Worth watching for a betting push.
