Santa Anita Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Maiden Claiming
PROUD RACER (2) lines up for the first time since June 29. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1207m at Santa Anita. Has found the right race. POSITIVE TIMES (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 8 lengths into fifth. Finds a nice race and can take this out. GILCHRIST (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 1308m at this track, beaten 11 lengths into seventh. Has the class to put the recent run of form behind him. BIG NOTION (5) resumes from a spell of a year. Could only manage to finish 12th at the latest run over 1308m at this track (Turf). Can kick off with a bold showing.

Is first-up after a break of a year and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign when last of 12 at this track May 17 over 1308m, 8 len behind Titanic Thompson carrying 53.5kg at $46.50. First up last campaign fourth of 7 at this track April 19 2025 over 1207m, 9 len behind Miss Jo's Curlin carrying 53.5kg at $5.20. Should be right in the mix.

Comes here off a 43-day let-up. Last start 7th of 9 at this track on March 28 over 1308m, 11 len behind Curlin Command carrying 57kg at $36.30. Before that ran last in a small field at Santa Anita on February 28 over 1207m, 11 len behind Millbo Baggins carrying 57kg at $3.40. Deserves another chance.
