Santa Anita Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Special Weight
DARYA (6) was having her first run for the Philip D'amato team last start when she made steady ground to run into second over 1609m at this track (Turf) at the first run back from a spell. One of the genuine hopes in the race. TIPITAP (3) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 3.5 lengths from the winner in sixth at this track (Turf) over 1609m. Progressive type who can play a role. MASS (1) stepped out on her debut over 1609m at Santa Anita (Dirt) three weeks ago and finished sixth, beaten 15 lengths. Will be better for that run and is expected to go well. NERIDA (2) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at this track (Turf) over 1609m last time, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
