Santa Anita Park Race 5

Twilight Derby Stakes

Stake: $347,032

TEST SCORE (5) started at $3.91 last time but could only manage fourth, beaten 4 lengths, at Kentucky over 2112m. Bold showing expected with the blinkers added. NAMARON (2) opened this prep last start with a third, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 1609m at Kentucky. Leading player. SCIPIO (3) comes here off a break of five months. Worth noting it filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1006m at Del Mar. Worth plenty of thought. MAAZ (4) comes here following a win over 1609m at this track three weeks ago, getting home by 2 lengths. Genuine type with two wins from five starts. One of the key contenders.
