Friday's 4th race (2:33pm PT) from Santa Anita Park is a $20,000 Maiden Claiming affair for fillies and mares dashing five and one-half furlongs on the main track.
#7 Johanns Kee (9-2) earned improved Pace Ratings second time out at Hollywood Park Dec 17 but was unable to build on that performance following a troubled beginning in a similar local spot Jan 12. She hails from a profitable, low profile barn and hustling jockey Maldonado has struck twice with this outfit. She looms a pace player at the very least with a clean start.

#8 Candys Girl (5-2) figures to take action for her new trainer Mike Mitchell. She is winless in eleven tries but has flashed speed/ability in the past and will probably move up for this outfit.
The Plays: $18 to win #7, $6 Exacta Box 7-8 ($12)
