Santa Anita Park Race 3

Maiden Special Weight

Stake: $116,995

DIAGHILEV (6) finished third, beaten one length, when resuming from a spell last start over 1308m at this track (Turf) after he was in contention on the turn. Nicely placed to play a major role. CHAPTER ONE (7) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1308m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth after being prominent at the turn. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. KELCE (3) is a three-year-old rig facing the starter for the first time. From an elite family that includes black type success, being by Quality Road from the former top race mare Vertical Oak. Comes out of the the strong juvenile stable of Bob Baffert. Promising type who is worth considering if popular in betting. MELISMATIC (5) is a three-year-old import having his first run for the Philip D'amato barn. Finished off last campaign with sixth over 1307m at Leopardstown eight months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly for the new connections but he must be respected.
