Santa Anita Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Special Weight
MARLA HOOCH (10) Picked up late ground when 3rd last run at the track and promising career start. Been in the money each start this preparation. Can take this out. PROMISES OF GOLD (12) Career debut 3yo by Goldencents for trainer Richard Baltas. Watch the betting. ROUSING RHYTHM (1) Dean Pederson 3yo by Rousing Sermon having first start and drawn the rails. Betting is the best guide. TAKING A JOY RIDE (8) Was ordinary when 6th last time around here but solid career start. Exhibiting good form this preparation. Winning hope.

First up after a break. Was $9.50 and didn't find the line when 9th last run here but was on debut last time. Likely to get back in the field. Looks to be in trouble.

Jumped at $43.00 and didn't attack the line when 6th last run at this track. Looks highly doubtful.

Close to a win last start here and fitter for debut run. Has plenty of early speed. Modest contender.

Was quite a handful for the competition when 2nd beaten by 3/4L last run at this track and having second race start. Should come to hand quickly. Capable type.

At $12.00 mediocre performance when 7th last time here but having second race start. Might have to make up considerable ground. Will be tested.

Good performance to run into 3rd beaten by 5 1/4L last run at this venue and showing consistent performance in races. Placed at every start this preparation. Definitely worth considering.
