Santa Anita Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Special Weight
THIRSTY CAITLIN (7) will find this a little easier than her second on debut three-and-a-half weeks ago, beaten a nose at the end of 905m at this track (Dirt). Will benefit from that experience so a big run is anticipated. FREE CLOSER (6) is on debut for the M W McCarthy stable. Two-year-old filly by Pavel from No Closing Costs. Serious contender, particularly if solid in the market. LIHUE PRINCESS (4) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 5.5 lengths from the winner in fifth over 905m at this track (Dirt). Must be included among the main hopes. I'M SMOKEN HOT (1) is a two-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Val Brinkerhoff. By Smokem from Wanda B Thirsty. Good draw a big help. Top-three chance.

At debut, tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at this track on April 30 over 905m, 1.4 len behind Dream Quest carrying 54.5kg at $10.60. Sure to take a lot from that experience and makes plenty of appeal.
