Santa Anita Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Maiden Special Weight

OTTIS BETTS (10) Good effort to run 3rd last run here and stepping up in trip. Has run into the money 3 from 3 attempts this preparation and solid career start. Worth strong consideration. FLASH OF LIGHTNING (9) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L last start at the track and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Displaying improvement over the past few runs. Gets a chance to win. BOOKED CLUBHOUSE (13) Ran home into 3rd beaten by 3/4L last start at the track. Has not missed the money this campaign in 3 attempts. Genuine winning chance. THROWTHEFIRSTPUNCH (4) Kept boxing on when 3rd last start around here and racing over a longer distance. Jockey Emisael Jaramillo and trainer Doug F Oneill are a combination worth following. Must respect in this event. Something for the Multiples: ROBIN OLDS (3)

Jumped at $36.00 and moderate showing when 10th last time at this venue but having second career run. Might have to make up considerable ground. Looks hopeful.

Was $5.50 and came in 5th last time here. Added confidence jockey with Juan J Hernandez doing the steering. Definite contender.

Jumped at $16.00 and didn't find the line when 9th last time at the track but was a debutant last start. Prefer in a much weaker race.
