Santa Anita Park Race 6 - Race 6 - Mdn Claiming
I'M SMOKEN HOT (3) is a five-start maiden who finished sixth at her most recent appearance over 1207m at Del Mar (Dirt) after she gave away a big start. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. MAMA LOVES VEGAS (2) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when fifth in a 1006m contest at Del Mar Turf six weeks ago. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. TAKE REVENGE (4) missed the placings on debut two runs back then settled well back last start when 17 lengths away in eighth over 1207m at Del Mar. Finds a suitable assignment and can take this out. LIHUE PRINCESS (6) finished 11 lengths from the winner in sixth at her most recent outing over 1609m at Del Mar Turf (Turf). Finds the right race and is worth consideration.
