Santa Anita Park Race 6

Maiden Special Weight

Prize Money: $99,857

LATITUDE (1) is having his first look at a turf track today following a fourth when fresh from a spell over 1308m at Santa Anita recently. Should camp just off the leaders. Will play a major role. LEGAL HEIR (6) finished second last time out when resuming over 1609m at Santa Anita (Turf), making it three career minor placings. Has been in the frame at both appearances at this course. Ideally placed to open his account. IRISH REBEL (4) returned last time with a solid second at Santa Anita (Turf) over 1207m after being prominent at the corner. Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field. MIDWAY LANE (5) was prominent at the turn and finished second last time over 1609m at Santa Anita (Turf), beaten 0.1 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. In the right race and is a top-three hope.
