Santa Anita Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Special Weight
DARYA (6) Right in the mix last start around here. Definite winning chance. NERIDA (2) Made up ground when 5th last run at this venue and can find a nice position from the draw. Always seems to find the line well. Serious contender. PHOTOGENIC (5) Ran 4th last start here. Expected to rebound. Keep in mind. MASS (1) Lost ground in the run home when 6th last run at this venue but having second race start. Juan J Hernandez rates highly. Good place bet.

At $4.33 weakened to finish 6th last run at this track but having second career run. Juan J Hernandez rates highly aboard and drawn the rails. Risky betting proposition.

Started at $3.25 and showed some merit late when 5th last run here and gets a favourable gate. Finishes off strongly. Stamps its reason for consideration.

Jumped at $28.00 and didn't threaten when 6th last start at this venue but fitter for debut run. Will be positive in the run early. This field likely to be too good.

Odds of $36.00 and ran 6th last run at this venue. Likely to settle back in the field. Few more classier types in this race.
