Santa Anita Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Maiden Special Weight
SHE'S NO QUANT (8) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when third over 1308m at this track (Turf). Has the blinkers removed. Rates highly and a bold showing is expected. MARLA HOOCH (4) was prominent on straightening and stuck on well to finish second last start over 1308m at this track (Turf), beaten 0.1 lengths when fresh from a spell as favourite. Nicely placed to find winning form. TAKING A JOY RIDE (1) was in contention on the corner and finished second last start over 1609m at this track (Turf), beaten 1.3 lengths. Ready to go one better. SACRED SOUND (3) is back after a break of nine months. At the last run before the layoff she finished fifth over 1006m at Del Mar Turf (Turf). Has ability so don't underestimate.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 34-day let-up. Most recently rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 9 at this track on April 18 over 1308m, 1.5 len behind The Loan Exchange with 55.5kg at $24. The start before that 2nd in a small field at Santa Anita on March 21 over 1207m, 1.5 len behind Dustem Too with 55.5kg at $2.90. Good effort last time when not far from the winner. Big chance.

Raced twice to date. When well in the market at debut, 3rd of 11 at this track on March 14 over 1207m, 2 len behind A Great Shaking carrying 55.5kg at $5. Second-up tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 3rd of 8 at this track on April 18 over 1308m, 0.6 len behind Holdthatrainbow with 55.5kg at $1.80. Brings the right form to the table. Top chance.
