Santa Anita Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Maiden Special Weight
SILENT WAY (3) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after being in contention on the corner. In the right race and is sure to prove hard to beat. PLAGARIST (1) finished second last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt) to make it two minor placings from four runs. Has a solid record at this track, finishing in the top-three two times. Ideally placed to open his account. MEMORY (2) stepped out on his debut over 1308m at this track (Dirt) three-and-a-half weeks ago and finished seventh, beaten 12 lengths. Will take a lot from that last run and is worth following up. AUTHENTIC PATRIOT (6) was in contention on the bend and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1609m at this track (Dirt), beaten 5 lengths. Will strip fitter this time. Sure to be thereabouts.

Second-up. Promising on debut ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 7 at Del Mar on November 14 over 1308m, 6 len behind Simple Song carrying 55.5kg at $7.10. Returned from break 3rd in a small field at this track on February 15 over 1207m, 4 len behind The Last Straw with 56kg at $3.30. Fitter again and a winning hope.

Three-year-old gelding by Quality Road out of Theodora B having his first start. Nice profile and a bold showing is expected.
