Santa Anita Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Claiming
ISSA COURT (6) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on February 28, finishing fifth and beaten 3 lengths over 1609m at this track (Turf). One of the genuine hopes in the race. OVETA'S HOBBY (1) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1006m at Los Alamitos, beaten 2.25 lengths. Facing a tougher assignment but she is capable of running a bold race. DANZINGWITH MAXINE (5) returns after a spell of 14 months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1207m at Del Mar. Has switched to the Mark Glatt yard. Makes plenty of appeal. STRANGE ADDICTION (8) is back after a break of seven months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1106m at Los Alamitos. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with two minor placings. Definite top-three chance.

Comes here off a 41-day let-up. Last start 3rd of 10 at Los Alamitos on September 12 over 1006m, 2.25 len behind Ebok's Dream Girl with 56.5kg at $2.50.
