Santa Anita Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Special Weight
KIVO (2) debuted five-and-a-half weeks ago when he finished fifth over 1609m at Del Mar Turf (Turf), beaten 2.75 lengths. Will improve and looks well placed. BOLD TYPE (1) made his debut last start and was just fair in finishing sixth at Del Mar (Dirt) over 1106m, beaten 8 lengths. Expected to finish much closer with the race experience on board. CYPRUS AVENUE (4) faced the starter for the first time and finished seventh last start at Del Mar (Dirt) over 1106m, beaten 9 lengths. Better for that run and can improve sharply. UNLEASHED AMBITION (5) is a two-year-old gelding on debut from the stable of A Kitchingman. By Tap Back from Smiling Cruise. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves.
