Santa Anita Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Claiming

BLAME THE TRACK (8) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at Del Mar but raced below expectations last time over 1207m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf), finishing ninth and beaten 14 lengths. Will enjoy a drop in class so she is likely to play a big role. STYLISHLY BIG (4) was 11 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1106m at Del Mar (Dirt) last time following a minor placing on debut the run before. Has the addition of blinkers. Expected to prove tough to beat. MELBA MONTGOMERY (1) finished seventh two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1207m at Los Alamitos, beaten 3 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Nicely placed to take this out. DANCING THRU FIRE (9) showed good early speed when resuming last start over today's journey at Los Alamitos (Dirt) before finishing second, beaten 2.75 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again.
