GOLDEN GATE
Race 1
With the once great race place, Santa Anita, not opening because of the threat of rain, we will be playing Golden Gate for the next two days. No. 2 Sea Myrtle has the hot jockey and trainer combo of Juan Hernandez and trainer Isidro Tamayo. No. 4 A Filly Can Dream is the speed on the drop. No. 5 Todos Santos takes a big class drop and is a must use at this level. No. 6 C C the Bartender is the stablemate of A Filly Can Dream and also takes a big class drop.
2-4-5-6
Race 2
$12,500 maiden 2yo fillies travel a flat mile. No. 5 Chieftess was last seen running for a $32k price vs. much stronger at Del Mar. She ships in looking for the win and has found a very soft group, she should handle these albeit at a short price, we will single in the pick five. 5**

Race 5
2yo starter allowance fillies travel a mile. No. 2 Arouse N Go looks like a solid price play here at 8-1 on the morning line, she gets her second try here at the Gate and second at this level. No. 5 Friend of Autism has run four times and has never run a bad race, she is on a win every other race pattern and this is her win race, we will bet her win and place and make an exacta box. 5***-2
KEY PLAY

Race 6
$12,500 fillies and mares travel 1-1/16. This field is loaded with a group of losers, we will take a shot with No. 6 English Empress at 10-1 on the morning line, she gets off the grass and drops to a level where she has a big shot. She won in her only try on the synthetic surface when going a mile.

Race 7
$25k maiden 2yo fillies go 5-1/2 furlongs. No. 2 Lace ships in from Del Mar where she was up against some tough 2yo fillies running on the grass, she takes a big drop and could wake up in this easy spot. No. 4 Lady Agatha gets off the grass and gets a turn back to a sprint, the price is right. No. 5 Miss Ski is a live first time starter at 10-1. No. 7 In It for Life also looks live at first asking, she looks fast. 2-4-5-7
Race 8
$40k claimers go six furlongs. Trainer Reid France sends out the uncoupled entry of No. 2 Rush who is a four time winner here and has hit the board in nine of his ten starts here and No. 7 Sequentially who comes off a win at this level and a voided claim. No. 3 Indian Zip was up against it last out, he will go better at this level. No. 6 Midnight Ming just did lose by a nostril at this level and distance last out.
2-7-3-6
Race 9
