Santa Anita Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Maiden Claiming
JUSTIVAR (9) finished second last start over 1811m at this track (Turf) to make it four minor placings from eight runs. Has a solid record at this track, finishing in the top-three three times. A maiden win looks imminent. TIPITAP (3) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she settled well back over 1811m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fifth. Ideally placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. EGYPTIAN MISTRESS (8) continues to improve and should be at her peak now after finishing in the money at this track (Turf) over 1811m last time after being in contention on the corner. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. WINIKA (6) returns after three-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a eighth over 1811m at this track (Turf). Good effort to launch last prep when in the money at Del Mar Turf over 1609m. Solid top-three hope.

Resuming after a three-and-a-half months break. Not seen since she finished last of 7 at this track January 23 over 1609m, 7 len behind Tiyara with 55.5kg at $25.10. On debut ran last of 9 at Santa Anita October 17 over 1308m, 26 len behind Cosmic Heat carrying 55.5kg at $16. Unlikely to trouble the top few.

Returns from a 40-day let-up. Last start 4th in a small field at this track on March 21 over 1811m, 4 len behind Darya with 55.5kg at $17. Before that crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 6th of 11 at this track on February 21 over 1609m, 4.5 len behind Essential Lady with 55.5kg at $21. Nice effort last time so worth following up.
