Santa Anita Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Special Weight
JUST A GRAZE (3) was prominent into the straight last time but couldn't go on with it and finished fourth over 1207m at this track (Turf). Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. DANZING WILD CAT (7) finished 3.5 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1207m at this track when resuming from a spell. Tackles a longer journey this time. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Best form puts him right in this. NINETEENTH HOLE (6) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth after being prominent at the bend. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. BENNY'S PUZZLE (5) is fitter for two runs back from a spell, progressing nicely last time to finish second, beaten 0.1 lengths, at this track (Turf) over 1609m. Can continue the good form.
