Santa Anita Park Race 6 - Race 6 - Mdn Claiming
DOING TIME (10) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for third last start over 1609m at this track (Turf), making it three minor placings in a row. Wide draw and will need a good steer from Abel Lezcano. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. GRAY THUNDER (1) is a three-start maiden who returned last time and finished seventh at this track (Turf) over 1609m, beaten 4.5 lengths. Can come on from that run and looks a serious contender. MILKEN COOKIES (5) returned from a spell two months ago when he was beaten 5.5 lengths into sixth over 1710m at Del Mar Turf. Likely improver with strong prospects. SHAPOVAL (2) is a 15-start maiden who has been in the money six times, Could only manage ninth last time out over 1609m at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Goes well here with four top-three finishes to his credit. Can measure up.
