Santa Anita Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Special Weight
NINETEENTH HOLE (6) On a quick turnaround. Came in 4th last start at this venue. Happy to overlook that run. Displays good tactical speed. Sure to be thereabouts. JUST A GRAZE (3) Finished 4th last run at this venue. Likely to bounce back and back over extra ground. Has early speed and positions nicely. Will be there at the finish. DESERT HAWK (4) Didn't threaten when 6th last time around here. Has the ability to turn things around. Goes close. HIGH KING (2) Came in 5th last start at this venue. Capable of bouncing back and gets a favourable draw. Could pose a threat and looks promising.

First up after a 44 week break. Odds of $28.00 and underperformed when 11th last run around here but having second race start. Expected to settle towards the rear. Entitled to be big odds.

Odds of $14.00 and finished 4th last run at the track. Likely to bounce back and returning to an increased distance. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Rates as one of the key chances.

Racing on a quick back up. At $4.00 ran 4th last start around here. Happy to overlook that run. Should muster plenty of early toe. Winning potential.

Started $18.00 and chased well when 5th last time here and coming back up in distance. More confidence with jockey Juan J Hernandez guiding the horse. Tough race will need luck.
