Santa Anita Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Claiming
SUGAR REIGN (6) stepped out on her debut over 1207m at this track (Turf) three-and-a-half weeks ago and finished ninth, beaten 4.5 lengths. Should progress this time and is expected to feature. OLIVIA (2) is back after a break of five months. At the last run before the layoff she finished tenth over 1609m at Del Mar (Turf). Rates highly and is a strong chance to break through. FLAMINGO STAR (3) finished third over 1207m at this track two back then missed the frame last time out over 1609m at this track (Turf). Has a strong finish. Well placed here and among the winning hopes. PRONOUNCE IT (5) has switched yards since finishing tenth four weeks ago over 1106m at this track.

Resuming after a five months break. Not seen since she finished last of 10 at Del Mar September 5 over 1609m, 19 len behind Brave Deb with 55.5kg at $10.40. On debut fifth of 9 at Del Mar July 26 over 1609m, 7 len behind Soaring Angel carrying 55.5kg at $6.70. Could prove too smart for these.

Was at big odds at debut, sat behind the speed prior to fading second last of 10 at this track on January 11 over 1207m, 4.5 len behind Struck By Her carrying 55.5kg at $38.40. Expecting sharp improvement; definite winning chance.
