Santa Anita Park Race 1

Maiden Special Weight

Prize Money: $90,782

LEGAL HEIR (3) is back after a break of three months. At the last run before the layoff he finished fourth over 1609m at this track (Turf). Launched last prep with a minor placing at this track over 1609m. Looks the one to beat. MONUMENTAL (8) debuted four weeks ago when he finished fourth over 1207m at this track (Turf), beaten 2.25 lengths. Expected to improve and will pay to follow up. BUCKS ACTION (7) made significant late ground last start to get up for third over 1308m at this track (Turf). All set to run well. BAKO COUNTRY (1) stepped out for the first time last start and was just fair in finishing fifth at this track (Turf) over 1207m, beaten 5 lengths. Looks well placed here and has to be respected.

Last start 3rd of 10 at this track on May 1 over 1308m, 1.4 len behind Sterling Sea carrying 54.5kg at $24.70. Well-placed and should prove hard to beat.
