Santa Anita Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
BALLYHOOLIGAN (3) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth and beaten 5.5 lengths over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Last run worth forgiving. Can atone. GRANDISIMO (1) didn't do a bad job when second last start after being prominent at the bend over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including two wins. Nicely placed to take this out. TEE N OFF (4) finished out of the money two starts back then he settled well back and was beaten 9 lengths when fifth over 1609m at this track four weeks ago. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. LAST CALL PAUL (5) ran below expectations last start, finishing sixth and beaten 36 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 1609m. Likely improver with top-three prospects.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 2nd in a small field at this track on April 19 over 1609m, 2.5 len behind Mongolian Max with 57kg at $12.30. The run before that ran on from midfield and won by 2.75 len at this track March 13 over 1609m defeating White Mountain with 56kg at $8. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.
