Santa Anita Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
SUTURA (1) went forward when resuming last start over 1308m at Kentucky (Turf) and held on well for second, beaten 0.3 lengths. Won't find this as tough so she is sure to be right there at the finish. FIRST OR LAST (9) was well fancied on the back of a couple of minor placings but could only manage fifth last start over 1207m at Del Mar (Dirt). Worth noting Umberto Rispoli is the change of rider. Better than that and deserves another chance. NOVITA DOMINGA (7) finished second last start over 1006m at Del Mar Turf (Turf), beaten 2.25 lengths. Has the talent to take this out. PENNY THE JET (6) settled back on debut last time out and battled on evenly to finish sixth over 1006m at Del Mar Turf (Turf). Has upside and must be respected.
