Santa Anita Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Special Weight
UBI (3) will find this a little easier than her second on debut seven weeks ago, beaten one length at the end of 1308m at Kentucky (Turf). Likely improver so she is worth following up. VALLENDAR (8) was close to breaking through last time, beaten just 0.1 lengths over 1207m at this track (Turf) after being prominent at the corner. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. STAR ABOVE ME (4) is a two-year-old import having her first run for the S A Callaghan barn. Finished in the placings over 1005m at Curragh at the last run before a spell. Not seen at the trials but she is expected to be in the finish. QUEENOFTHEWILD (9) was safely held when resuming last start over 1609m in stakes class at Del Mar Turf (Turf), finishing eighth and beaten 28 lengths. Drops back in grade. Too good to ignore.

Was well in the market at debut, 5th of 8 at Santa Anita on October 4 over 1207m, 7 len behind Mo Chuisle with 55.5kg at $4.60. Encouraging signs on debut but this looks a tough assignment.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, sat on the pace before fading to run last of 7 at this track on September 25 over 1207m, 6 len behind Miss Midterm carrying 55.5kg at $54.50. Didn't quite do enough on debut to raise the hopes.

Returns from a 57-day let-up. Last start 5th of 7 at Del Mar on August 28 over 1207m, 7 len behind Blame Ashley with 55.5kg at $4.40. The race before that 2nd of 10 at Del Mar on August 7 over 1106m, 0.3 len behind It'sthetwentythird carrying 55.5kg at $26.60. Better than that recent ordinary performance suggests.

Second-up. Comes off a 48-day let-up. First-up after three months ran second last of 9 in Listed grade at Del Mar Turf at Del Mar Turf on September 6 over 1609m, 28 len behind Vanta with 54.5kg at $8.80. Previously second-up ran on strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 9 at Navan on June 7 over 1005m, 1.0 len behind Cleodolinda with 58kg at $17. Solid top-three hope.
