Maiden Claiming

Prize Money: $48,883

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.
