Santa Anita Park Race 2

Maiden Optional Claiming

Prize Money: $52,402

MIDWAY LANE (3) is back after a break of nine weeks. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at his latest appearance over 1609m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf). Well placed and happy to have him on top. FAUSTO (5) finished second last time out over 1609m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf), making it three career minor placings. Has a solid record at this track, finishing in the top-three two times. Won't get too many better chances to break through. MONTANA JET (4) is a two-start maiden who was unplaced on debut then improved to finish second last time over 1408m at this track (Dirt), beaten 4 lengths. Has the gate speed to neutralise the awkward gate. Has upside and will be right in this. GHOSTWRITTEN (1) was lining up for just the second time last start when fifth over 1609m at Santa Anita Turf, beaten 6 lengths. Well placed and can feature in the finish.

Comes here off a 51-day let-up. At the latest run ran last in a small field at this track on February 27 over 1609m, 32 len behind Cherokee Nation with 57kg at $47. The race before that ran last in a small field at Santa Anita Turf on January 9 over 1609m, 16 len behind Kokosan with 56kg at $21.20. Mediocre effort last time out but this suits.
