Santa Anita Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Special Weight
MATT AT FIVE (6) was prominent from the outset on debut last start and held on well for second, beaten 2 lengths, over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Should improve sharply and this looks a nice race. KING'S RIDE (2) faced the starter for the first time and finished fourth last start at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) over 1207m, beaten 3 lengths. Will have a lot more to offer this time. KNOWHERE (7) has not been to the races since he finished third on debut over 1006m at Los Alamitos on June 29. Big run is on the cards. TAKE ANOTHER SWING (3) ran a fair race on debut last time out, beaten 7 lengths into sixth over 1207m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) on March 7. Among the better hopes.
