Santa Anita Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Maiden Claiming
RUNNING SPARTAN (2) held on well to finish third last time out over 1207m at this track (Turf) after leading for much of the way. Will go forward again and looks tough to beat. MAXIMON (3) is a promising type who was in the placings on debut before a fourth last time over 1207m at this track (Turf). Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Best form puts him right in this. CHAPTER ONE (1) led early and was still in the firing line on the turn last start before tiring to finish fifth over 1207m at this track (Turf). Solid top-three chance on his best figures. GANDALF (8) raced once in the maiden preparation when fifth at Del Mar Turf (Turf) over 1006m back on August 14. Improver who can feature in the finish.
