Santa Anita Park Race 5

Maiden Claiming

Prize Money: $22,346

STAR OF DELHI (4) was never in contention when 13 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1609m at Santa Anita Turf last start, a less impressive effort than his sixth at Santa Anita Turf the run before. Has the talent to find the winners' list. TROJAN MAFIA (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 10 lengths. Strips fitter and can take this out. CARL ERSKINE (3) settled well back from a wide draw last time then wound up strongly to finish fifth over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Can feature in the finish. MR AKIN (2) turned in a moderate debut over 1106m at this track (Dirt) on May 3 when he was safely held in fourth, 6 lengths from the winner. Plenty of scope for improvement. Must be respected.
