SANTA ANITA
Race 1
$25k fillies and mares go 5 ½ furlongs on the grass, speed speed and more speed line up in this sprint. We will look for a runner who can sit chilly off the hot pace and blast home late for the win. No. 5 DRIFT AWAY fits the bill. She comes off a nice win on the course last out for a $32k price tag and has won three of her six starts here on the grass. Flavien Prat fits this mare like a glove and she has won her last two starts on this 5 ½ furlong turf course. No. 4 Seaside Dancer has been routing on the grass and she can sit off the pace today, she looks the main danger. 5***-4
