Santa Anita Park Race 4

Maiden Special Weight

Prize Money: $99,857

TOMMY NORRIS (4) was well fancied last time out but after being in the firing line on the turn disappointed in finishing fourth over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 5 lengths. This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. PARNELLI JONES (5) finished third, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 1106m at Del Mar (Dirt) on debut ten weeks ago and has been kept under wraps since. Sure to have improved over the break and another bold showing is on the cards. POSITIVE TIMES (2) didn't do a lot on debut a month ago, finishing 7 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Open to plenty of improvement. Expected to do much better. GALLOPING GHOST (3) is on debut. By Grazen and comes from the Craig A Lewis stable. Top-three chance.

1106m - 1609m

Comments
Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming ran last of 8 at Los Alamitos in LR on December 14 over 1609m, 20 len behind Smoovin Saturday carrying 53.5kg at $26. Second run from a spell 4th of 10 at this track on January 8 over 1207m, 5 len behind My Bodacious Boy with 55.5kg at $2.80. Capable of a strong showing.

Resuming after a break; only one run when 3rd of 8 at Del Mar on November 29 over 1106m, 2.75 len behind Moonshiner carrying 55.5kg at $6.80. This is an ideal race to kick off. Top hope.
