Santa Anita Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Maiden Special Weight

DESERT ROCKET (2) First up from a spell. Attacked the line when 2nd last run at Del Mar Thoroughbred and going over more ground. Putting up notable efforts since returning from a break. Looks well placed. FIGHT BACK (6) Fresh after a spell. Couldn't stay in touch when 4th last run around here. Expected to rebound. Juan J Hernandez is a smart jockey booking. Winning hope. TOPPERS WAGER (3) Folded up in the straight when 7th last run at Los Alamitos Th. Has the talent to rebound quickly. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Could run a race. CANANI (4) Edged past some when finishing 4th last start at this venue. Solid place bet prospects.
