Santa Anita Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming

VALIANT SON (7) was unwanted in betting when resuming last start but performed beyond expectations when beaten 1.4 lengths into third over 1207m at this track (Turf). Should camp just off the leaders. Sure to be in the finish. GAZON (4) is back at the races for the first time since June 14. Scored over 1207m at this track at the start of last prep. Sure to make his presence felt. BELLY UP (3) has not won for a long while. Last raced on April 5 when beaten 7 lengths into ninth at this track (Turf) over 1207m. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot return to winning ways. TRIBAL (6) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing seventh at this track (Turf) over 1609m after being in contention on the turn. Has the talent to return to the winners' list.
