Santa Anita Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Optional Claiming
A FRIEND OF MINE (4) ran well on debut last start to finish second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) in a tougher race. Will benefit from that experience so she should pay to follow. TIME TO SHINE (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she was always well out of her ground over 1811m at this track, beaten 8 lengths into sixth. Finds an easier assignment and can find winning form. SUNSET BEAUTY (6) is a two-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 5 lengths when seventh over 1609m at this track (Turf). Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come. DON'T TEMPT HER (5) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then she settled well back and was beaten 12 lengths when ninth over 1609m at this track seven weeks ago. Will enjoy a drop in class so she can find the winners' list.
