Santa Anita Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Special Weight
MAGGLES MCGEE (2) Attacked the line when 2nd beaten by 3L last start at the track and has a good draw. Should come to hand quickly. Putting a tidy record together so far. Will go well. HUMIDITY (1) Solid run when finishing 3rd beaten by just short of 8L last start around here and drawn beautifully. Looking sharp on the track since resuming from a spell. Can figure in the finish. TAKING A JOY RIDE (4) Finished amongst the placegetters when 2nd last time at the track and having second career run. Should jump out and bowl along. Jockey Juan J Hernandez rates highly. Could go well. TATE BATZ (5) Was overrun when 4th last start here and returning to more ground. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Genuine threat.

Caught the eye when 3rd beaten by just short of 8L last start at the track and has drawn the rails. In good order since coming back from a break. Definitely worth considering.

Started at $16.00 and moved through the field into 4th last start around here and racing over more ground. Might have to make up considerable ground. Looks hopeful.

Kept running on late when 2nd last time at this venue and fitter for debut run. Should muster plenty of early speed. Jockey Juan J Hernandez is a bonus. Expect a forward showing.

Odds of $8.00 and was found wanting late when 4th last start at the track and returning to an increased distance. Likely to be well placed early. One for the value hunters.

On a short turnaround. At $36.00 fairly underwhelming when 7th last run at this track but having second race start. Likely to settle back in the field. Will need its best to find a place.

Started at $7.50 and passed some rivals in the late stages when 4th last run around here and facing an increased distance. Not threatening these.
