Santa Anita Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Maiden Claiming
BITTER TRUTH (4) is a three-start maiden who is close to a win following two recent minor placings, the latest when third over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Should park just off the speed. Best form puts her right in this. DANZIG TIL DAWN (5) is a nine-start maiden who finished fourth at her most recent appearance over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Well placed on this occasion and gets her chance to break the ice. GOGOTIZ (7) is yet to break through in six runs. Finished sixth at her last appearance over 1609m at this track (Dirt) on April 17 after she got a long way back in the run. Looks to be in the right race to play a big role. LITTLE ORIGINAIRE (1) was never in contention last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when she finished eighth, beaten 18 lengths. Finds a suitable assignment this time and can improve.
