SANTA ANITA RACE 1

MAIDEN CLAIMING 20K, 1M DIRT

 

8 BLAME EVE 9-5

4 GHOSTESS 7-2 

5 GRETA’S GHOST 8-1

6 MAKENARITA 4-1

 

PICK: 8 BLAME EVE

Nothing overly clever here. She ran the best race on the form from all of these runners in her only start (last time out) on the dirt. She was favored on a class drop and move to the dirt as well as the addition of top rider Hernandez. While the winner got away from her in deep stretch, she was well clear of a bunch of those entered in this race. That winner was also dropping out of MSW company.

 

VALUE: 5 GRETA’S GHOST                                

One of the two in the race for George Papaprodromou. This one looks like she’s at the right level in rock bottom 20k maiden claiming. She is a hard trying filly but does appear she is at the right level. She started to run very late in the last start when the top choice was well clear. She almost got to her stablemate to her outside for third. QH rider up. Might be closer to the pace. Use her in here.
