Santa Anita Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Special Weight
THIRTEEN KISSES (10) Maclean S Music 2yo on debut for trainer Michael W Mccarthy. Juan J Hernandez is a crucial engagement. Watch the market. SORCERESS (11) 2yo first starter by Not This Time for trainer Richard E Mandella. Respect the betting. UBI (3) Made considerable ground when 2nd last time at Kentucky Downs and fitter for debut run. Jockey Umberto Rispoli and trainer Philip D'Amato are a promising combination. Good prospects. VALLENDAR (8) Missed by a narrow margin last time here and showing consistent performance in races. Expecting to settle positively. Performing honestly this campaign and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Respect in this event.

Started $5.50 and lost ground in the run home when 5th last start at this venue but having second career run. Should come to hand quickly. A demanding task.

Jumped at $53.00 and faded away to finish 7th last time around here but having second race start. Likely to be well placed early. Has a positive draw. Prefer in something a lot easier.

Produced an eye catching run when 2nd last time at Kentucky Downs and was on debut last time. Umberto Rispoli usually performs well for this stable. Has strong claims.

First up after a break. Narrowly beaten last time at Curragh and was a debutant last start. First start for a new trainer. Expected to settle towards the tail. Watch betting.

Was $11.00 and showed some merit late when 5th last run at the track and having second career run. Lines up against a competitive field.

Close up last time around here and promising career start. Should muster plenty of early toe. Going well this preparation and getting better in recent performances. Win will not surprise.

Jumped at $12.00 and was nothing special when 8th last run at Del Mar but dropping in grade. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Watch for a sign in the market.
