Santa Anita Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Claiming
CELESTIAL SKIES (6) is a seven-start maiden who finished fourth at her most recent outing over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. DADDYGAVEITTOME (3) is a 16-start maiden finding it tough to win but has been in the placings at her last two runs, finishing second most recently over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Going well enough to test this field. SMILING RAPPER (1) again failed to feature last start, finishing sixth and beaten 10 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Expected to feature if at her best. PLAY FOR ME (2) was prominent at the bend and finished third last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 4 lengths. Fitter for that run. In the mix.

Lining up for just third start. At big odds at debut, settled back and ran on when 9th of 13 at this track on February 15 over 1207m, 4 len behind Savannahs Big Girl with 53kg at $26.20. Last start second last of 8 at this track on March 8 over 1207m, 19 len behind Another Zero with 53kg at $59.40. Improvement required to threaten in this field.
