Santa Anita Park Race 1

Maiden Special Weight

Prize Money: $104,634

MISS WATERMELON (2) missed the frame on debut then improved last time when 1.75 lengths away in second over 1308m at Del Mar (Dirt). Backmarker who keeps coming. Looks well placed to open her account. BANZAI BETTY (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at Del Mar, beaten 6 lengths into fifth. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. BANK SHOT (7) is close to breaking through following a narrow defeat last time over 1609m at Del Mar (Dirt). Adrian Escobedo has registered two minor placings when on board. Expected to measure up. SOUNDS LUCKY (5) produced a better run last start, beaten 4 lengths into fourth over 1308m at Los Alamitos. Capable of featuring prominently.
