Santa Anita Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Special Weight
NON DOMICILE (8) Career debut 3yo by Promises Fulfilled for trainer Simon Callaghan. Watch the market moves. FAR OVER LOADED (11) Looked good when 2nd last start at this venue. Has the necessary speed to mitigate the wide draw. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Can take this out. HORIZON WILDCAT (13) Finished 5th last run around here but showing consistent performance in races. Putting up notable efforts this campaign. The wide barrier shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. Underrated. OAKLEY'S SMILE (1) First appearance at the races 3yo by Smiling Tiger for Francisco Rodriguez and can save some energy from the gate. Betting as a guide.

Below Par effort on debut when beaten 11.3L at Santa Anita Park as a $13.4 chance. Beaten 11.3L around here last start. 11.3L from the winner at this trip last time out. Hard to see it winning here.

Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last start around here. Has the speed to overcome the wide alley. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Can measure up against these.

Ran 5th last run at this venue but solid career start. Has the early speed to burn across from the wide gate. Showing good ability this campaign. Looks a nice proposition.
