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

DESERT ROCKET (2) Managed to place 2nd last start at Del Mar Thoroughbred and rising in trip. Exhibiting good form since resuming from a spell and gets a favourable alley. Looks promising. FIGHT BACK (6) Back from a break. Weakened under pressure when 4th last run at this track. Looking for an improved run. Jockey Juan J Hernandez adds value. Strong hope. TOPPERS WAGER (3) Didn't threaten when 7th last time at Los Alamitos Th. Has the potential to improve sharply. Should jump out and bowl along. Can measure up to this company. CANANI (4) Edged past some when finishing 4th last run at this track. Include in chances.
