SANTA ANITA
Race 1
$75k maiden 2yo go five furlongs. No. 2 Zen Deputy took some action in his first start for a $50k price tag and ran a solid second despite bobbling at the start. No. 4 Mr Larson also took some money in his one start with straight maidens and never ran a step, he drops and gets blinkers on and its good to see that Bejarano sticks. 2-4
Race 2
$25k fillies and mares which have never won two races. No. 2 Olotta Shaken has some early speed and should be legged up after that turf run in her last start. No. 4 Entebbe exits the same race and gets the hot riding Joe Talamo on today, look for a better effort from off the pace. 2-4
Race 3
Starter allowance fillies and mares go 1-1/16. No. 1 Desert Madam gets her first start off the Bill Spawr claim, she likes this track with four wins and won the only time she went this distance. No. 3 Take It Easyplease never runs a bad race but is always overbet but a must use. 1-3
Race 4
$50k maiden 3yo fillies go a flat mile. No. 4 Space Cadet gets blinkers on for this her third start as trainer Baltas is looking to keep her more focused. No. 5 Sweet Treat exits the same race as the Space Cadet, we look for better from her in this her second start. No. 7 Goodlookinwife drops from straight maidens and will be making a late run. 4-5-7

Race 8
We end the day with $20k maiden fillies and mares going six furlongs, we do not like any of the girls that have run so we will use three first time starters.
