Santa Anita Park Race 8 - Las Virgenes S. Stakes
EXPLORA (2) was far too good first up last start when she scored by 5 lengths over 1408m at Listed level at this track (Dirt). Open to plenty of improvement and is clearly the one they have to beat. SUPER CORREDORA (4) is a progressive three-year-old filly who resumes from a break of three-and-a-half months, her last appearance being a win over 1710m in the G1 Breeders Cup Juvenile Fillies at Del Mar (Dirt). Has scored first-up from a spell before. Has a formidable combination with Hector Isaac Berrios who has been aboard for her last two wins. Should be in the finish. MEANING (1) resumes after a break of three-and-a-half months. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 1308m at Los Alamitos. Likely to take beating. BANK SHOT (3) last appeared five-and-a-half weeks ago when she scored by a nose over 1609m at this track. Not out of the question due to a scarcity of opponents.

Second run back. First-up after two months scored a big 5 len win at this track LR January 10 over 1408m defeating La Wally carrying 56kg at $1.05. Previously second-up made ground from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Del Mar in the G1 Del Mar Debutante Stakes on September 6 over 1408m, 1.0 len behind Bottle Of Rouge with 54.5kg at $1.60.
