Santa Anita Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Special Weight
GOJE (5) did a good job last start to finish second at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) over 1609m, beaten half a length. That run should have her rock-hard fit now. Continues to race well without winning, recording three placings from three starts this time in work. Sure to run well. CHRISTA MCAULIFFE (1) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1207m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. TAKING A JOY RIDE (4) is a three-year-old filly by Clubhouse Ride out of Jennifer's Joy stepping out on debut for the Craig A Lewis stable. Worth including if well in commission. KOOL MARIAH (3) debuted seven weeks ago when she finished seventh over 1308m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf), beaten 7 lengths. Can improve sharply.
