Santa Anita Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Special Weight
HOAXER (2) has started twice, running a good third on debut then finishing fourth, beaten 2.5 lengths, last time over 1609m in the G3 Del Mar Juvenile Turf Stakes at Del Mar Turf (Turf). The blinkers go on. Looks the one to beat on his debut performance. DREAM SEEKER (1) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when second over 1609m at Del Mar Turf (Turf). Has ability and is one of the leading chances. ABSOLUTION (5) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when sixth at Del Mar (Dirt) over 1106m, beaten 9 lengths. Capable of much more this time. BLIKSEM (4) is a promising type who was in the placings on debut before a fourth last time over 1609m at Del Mar Turf (Turf). Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Should give backers a sight.

Comes off a 39 day let-up. At the latest run 7th of 11 at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf on August 25 over 1609m, 9 len behind Mad Mo with 54.5kg at $11.60. The start before that 3rd of 8 at Ellis Park Turf on July 24 over 1106m, 1.75 len behind Battlefield Hero carrying 54kg at $14.41. Cannot be ruled out despite a plain effort last time.
