Santa Anita Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Maiden Claiming
ELSA DUTTON (4) finished second last time out when resuming over 1207m at this track (Dirt), making it three career minor placings. Has been in the frame at all three runs at this track. Ideally placed to open her account. DAD'S BAD BUNNY (3) started at $5.30 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 11 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 1106m after being prominent at the turn. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. MANHATTAN BEAUTY (5) was in a rearwards position on the turn last time out before finishing 8 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1207m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf). Solid top-three chance on her best figures. DESPITE (2) is a two-start maiden who returned last time and finished sixth at this track (Dirt) over 1106m, beaten 22 lengths. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration.

Second run back. First-up after nine months came from midfield; 2nd of 8 at this track on March 1 over 1207m, 4 len behind Violences Ohr carrying 57kg at $2.30. Previously second-up 6th of 12 at Santa Anita Turf on April 5 over 1207m, 6 len behind Guiltyofhavingfun with 55.5kg at $27.60. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
