Santa Anita Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Maiden Special Weight

BLACKSMITH (2) sat on the pace last time and battled on well to finish 1.3 lengths from the winner in second over 1710m in the G2 Los Alamitos Futurity (Dirt). Takes on much easier opposition this time. Sure to feature. CHEROKEE NATION (1) gave away a big start at the top of the straight last start and finished 9 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1710m in the G2 Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. EASY COMPANY (4) was prominent at the turn and finished second last time over 1308m at Los Alamitos (Dirt), beaten half a length. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. ROBUSTA (3) was fair on debut last start when seventh over 1308m at Del Mar (Dirt). Tackles a longer journey this time. Right in this.
