Santa Anita - Race 4

#5 Tribalicious (4/1 ml)

Longshot maiden from the obscure Anthony Saavedra barn had a very rough time of it when leaving the gate in her debut, sandwiched and pinched back before getting knocked outward and having to check, then was veered sharply to the rail by the rider. She started moving sharply after that however, making her way up the inside very smoothly while under a pretty nice hold. Unfortunately, she was still caught behind horses when coming into the stretch, forced to sit and wait for an opening. Kicked on pretty well once finally swung out into the clear, and ended up only beaten a few lengths at the wire. I suspect she would've won the race with a clean break and a decent trip. Should offer some nice value here while facing two of the same horses who beat her last time out, especially hailing from such a low-profile barn. Expecting a good run from this filly today.
